Issues connecting to my laptop

My Canon MX459 printer is wirelessly hooked up to every computer in our house, except for my laptop! All computers run on Windows - my laptop is on Windows 7, while the others are Windows 8. The issue occured after restarting our wireless router in order to connect another device to our network. Now, when I try to search for the printer from my laptop, it doesn't show up. I can't connect it to my network at all, even though it has easily connected to the other computers in the house. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi. Can you clarify? Are you saying that printer connects wirelessly to every computer except one?

Hi there!

Yes, you've got it right - I can wirelessly print on this printer from every computer in my house, except for my laptop. The two won't connect at all right now, and it was previously connected before I added a wifi baby monitor into the connection mix. The monitor has been removed since then, to try and correct the issue, but it didn't fix anything.
