@Terry Woods  - Thank you and I am glad your printer is working.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
On my home network I have 2 computers plugged into a 4 port router, and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. The printer stopped working (jobs in the print queue just waited, with no status, and no printing) from the Windows 8 machine since I upgraded the router to a wireless one (everything still connects through ethernet though).<br />
<br />
I tried removing the printer from Windows 8 and now when I search for new devices it's unable to find it. I tried changing the IP address assignment on the printer's settings from auto to manual, but that didn't help (I've changed it back). It still works ok from the Windows 7 machine.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to proceed, to get the WIndows 8 machine working with the printer? Thank!

Printer works fine from Windows 7 machine, but not from Windows 8 machine, since I upgraded my router

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
