We have many devices in our house. They all connect to the printers easily and print on a regular basis with no hassle. All of them work perfectly....except two. My mom's laptops. Both of her laptops will not print. This has been an issue for over a year. I have tried every possible solution I could find on the face of the earth. She moves them around a lot so a hardwired connection was not a posibility. I have re-imaged them with Windows multiple times and manually installed the print drivers. They constantly drop their WiFi connection as well. This does not happen with the rest of the household devices. Just hers. Any ideas as to why printer and wifi issues are only occurring on two devices(different brands)?  I can get her laptop to print for a short time, but then it stops working again after about a day or so. I have set static IP's for the printers and her laptop as well. The printers are different brands and her laptop won't print constantly to either of them. They are both hardwired into the network over Ethernet.

How old are the laptops? It could just be inferior networking cards or they don't mesh with the printer well. Look not only for print drivers but networking drivers. Do you have multiple wifi access points? Shifting between two with a print job may also cause trouble.
