Can't find printer on network... wazzup?

[Buzz]

Old fax drone has been running marvelously for years all of a sudden no longer sees LJ6mp on network. Multi-timed Frankenmac'ed 7300 running 8.6, never had this problem before... all other nodes on LAN see 7300 and printer, and 7300 sees other nodes, but not printer. Restarted, trashed prefs, zapped pram, printer remains invisible. Desktop printer retains selection, acts like it is spooling print job, then craps out saying can't find printer. Still on 8.6 because box was running Remus RAID array, and 8.6 was latest OS Remus supported. RAID box died (remnants to Harbourmaster), and haven't bothered to upgrade yet; will do so upon replacing 2GB U2WSCSI drives w/ 9GB'ers, but in mean time, how do we get printing back short of full OS install/reinstall? Thanks,

Buzz
