Print server connected printers keep dropping from printer list - anyone experiece this?

Folks,
 
I just connected 4 PCs wireless to my printer (X6170) with a wireless G.  They all printed a test page.  However, at times when I go to print  from  various printers the wireless connected printer cannot be found in the local printer list.  If I search my local network I can find the printer but then it has to be reinstalled including driver.  Anybody else see this?
 
Thanks
Pat

I have the same issue.  I have a desktop hardwired to a Linksys Wireless router and have a Linksys Wireless print server with a HP PSC1200 connected.  Then entire setup works fine.  But when I attempt to install the printer on my laptop, the installation goes as expected but when the test page is printed it the printer is also deleted. This action is logged in Windows event viewer.  The ports are setup correctly.  If the printer is hardwired to the laptop everything works fine.  If the printer is unhooked from the laptop is still shows under Printers and Faxes, just offline.  When a test page or document is printed, the printer is deleted.
 
Any suggestions would be appricated.
