Having a problem finding my HP printer via wireless. It cannot find the printer on the network.

With an Epson and now with an HP printer I sometimes cannot connect to the printer via my wireless connection. It says it cannot find the printer even though it is the default printer. It happens intermittently.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
