Default Having strange local network printing problem - could use some help/ideas

Using ActionTec DSL router with three machines, 2 hard-wired desktops
(both 98SE) and one wireless laptop (XP).

Network has always worked fine; however, at the moment the machine that
is local to the shared printer hangs up. It won't print. It won't
cancel the job. As a result the other two computers are unable to
print, unless I reboot the one desktop, canceling the print job in the
process of rebooting.

Then I can print from either of the other desktop and the laptop.

It can't be the cable, since it is fine for 2 of 3. It can't be the
driver since the same driver is used for all print jobs to that printer.
Right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
