Interesting one the other day, a Macbook running 10.5.8 that would not 'see' a HP C5180 inkjet on the Airport wireless network. Worked fine over USB, but the installation software would not see the printer over the wireless network at all.
I connected it in by Ethernet, when of course it was seen, so I thought that it would disappear again as soon as I disconnected Ethernet. Well curiously it worked perfectly over wireless after that, being found as normal by all the software.
24 March update on this: it disappeared again off Bonjour, never figured out why; but I set up permanently by assigning it a manual IP address and then using the IP option in Add Printer to add its IP address.
