For some time now, we’ve had a printer connected to our home network that we access through the Family MacBook, which shares the printer with other devices on the network. Today, I tried printing from my MBA and was told the printer was offline. I went to the Family MacBook and saw the printer listed as idle. In my attempts to troubleshoot, I accidentally deleted all the printers from the list in System Prefs (on the Family MacBook). I went to re-add the printer to the list from the Family MacBook, but the printer only shows up as a Bonjour printer via my MBA. How do I re-associate it with the Family MacBook, which is always on and sharing the printer with the rest of the family’s devices?

Hard to troubleshoot without being there and seeing everything. You've just got to go through all of your settings and figure out what is different between the two machines.
