I had printing set up through one machine on my home network. That machine
shared the printer (USB connected) for all devices on my network. I simply
would set up a port to the specific IP address (no DHCP) and away we go.

However, today that stopped working. I don't know if it happened today, but
this is the first I've noticed it. I found that the "Server" service is not
running on the home machine w/printer, but that it is running on all other
machines. Hence, I cannot even find or connect to that machine. When I try
to start that service, it tells me: "Could not start the Server service on
Local Computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found."

Any thoughts??
