I changed wifi service providers and now my macbook pro won't connect to my samsung wireless printer. The printer is properly connected to the network as others in the house can print. I was able to print prior to changing the wifi settings on the printer.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Hey cecefromne!
I believe that this article will help you troubleshoot the issue with your printer:

Thank you for your response, Braden85!
It is working now. I deleted the printer & downloaded new software for it several times. Finally in desperation I unplugged the printer & plugged it back in. Voila! My mac found it, loaded it, & I am printing again.
I will remember the article you referred to, however, in case something happens again.

Okay, There can be a number of issues. I'll give you the most common.
1. Did you check for an Apple Software Update. (General not the specific Drivers)
2. Are you running Snow Leopard or Leopard. If its Snow Leopard most likely the Manufacture in this case Samsung and Apple haven't released the fixed version for it. I'm running snow leopard and my Canon Pixma wasn't working for about a week wireless because of this.
3. Try an Automatic Setup. Go to System Preferences, then Print&Fax, then underneath the box that lists the installed printers if any are there click the Plus ➕ , Then check if your printer is listed. If it is highlight it then follow the instructions. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Good Luck.

It is a convoluted process, but downloading this software from Samsung helps setup the samsung printer to print via Airprint:
