    im not a techy person when it comes down to computers mate, but could you not do a system restore?

    * start
    * programs
    * accessories
    * system tools
    * system restore

    then set it back 24hrs and i would imagine it would see it again?
    it may not be the fix you need but maybe a quick fix to get you up and running again?

    I would try simply re-installing all of the printers.
