my HP printer is connected to my time capsule to allow printersharing. i never had any issues with printing this way until some weeks ago.

when giving the "print" command (from any computer and any application) the printer dialog box says "looking for printer" and it keeps looking with no result.

the printer is visible in the printers section in system prefs. it first shows a green dot with the text "idle" then it changes to amber "in use" and gets stuck while "looking for printer"

does anyone have a clue why all of a sudden a perfectly working situation has changed? i have not changed anything in any setting before the issue occurred and my software is up to date.
