Network Printer Problems

To make a long story short. We have 3 computers networked through a host computer. On Friday my boss turned off our computers and unplugged them because we were due to have bad storms. When we turned them back on Monday, we were no longer connected to the network. We could get the internet but could not print. After trying several things, my computer finally "sees" the other computers but I still can't connect to the printer. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Is the computer networked or is it connected to a computer??

If networked, ping it's IP address. If connected to a computer by parallel cable then try a test print from it.
