[DM-MUG] HP Deskjet 6980

[Matthew W.]

Sorry, I didn't see the networked part. Before you reset, you should  
connect one computer via wire directly to the printer and see if it  
works. Then you'll know that it is something in the wireless config.  
Frankly, I avoid wireless as a rule. I have a Airport Extreme, but  
its coverage in my house is wildly variable. I do not trust wireless  
for anything business-related either, there are too many variables  
for inconsistent behavior and security holes.

Did you upgrade to 10.4.9 and then the problem occurred?
