New router - printerconnects with dhcp but cannot be "found" or pinged

We are temporarily staying at a friend's house during a remodel. We connected our two laptops (W7 & W8), desktop (W7) and hp OJP 8600 wireless printer to a Cisco E3000. All are visilble in the DHCP listing from the router. None of the computers can ping the printer at the ip address assigned by DHCP and visible on the printer setup info.

C:\Windows\system32>ping 192.168.1.104

try this

command prompt

arp -a
arp -d 192.168.1.107
arp -a

post results

side note:
a printer should not be assigned by dhcp it should be a static ip address.

If you must make it dhcp at least make it a dhcp reservation using the mac address of the printer.
