Q: I recently lost the ability to print via the network from my Mac book pro

Up until recently(moved to a new house) the HP printer was connected to the apple extreme base station and on the network and worked fine. Now it no longer prints with the Mac book pro unless it is connected with a usb, the printer still works on the network from iPhones, iPads, and PC. There are no updates for either the printer the airport extreme base station, or the mac book pro. Someone please help

I recommend deleting your existing printer from System Preferences > Print & Fax, and adding it again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system

After you do that you will need to add the printer again according to the instructions here:
