Binary package hint: cups
To put it simply, when the wireless router or printer is reset, it connects to each other no problem. Ubuntu still has the configuration of the printer, but all sends timeout because Ubuntu doesn't automatically detect the new wireless address of the printer. The only workaround is to delete the current settings and reinstall the printer so it can detect the new printer address. As a usability issue having to reinstall a wireless printer each time it's turned off or reset instead of automatically detecting the new wireless address would be a major turnoff to any user old or new.
