Are you still on 6.8? I think in such cases adding the printer directly thru USB first will then allow you. You didn't do it that way before, directly connected?
What printers are these just in case?

DesktopsIf the Address of your network changed with the new Router (for example, the old Router was at 192.168.0.1 and the new Router is at 10.10.0.1, the Printers are left behind on a different subnet, and can no longer be reached directly for Printing.
They need to have addresses on the current subnet (which generally means the first three octets are the same as the new Router Address, the last one is different) and Not be in the range passed out by DHCP (unless you intend to look for them exclusively by NAME, never by IP Address).
