Connectivity issues has more to do with network engineering/tech. And I did not practice that. Some of us got trained in an era when laptop was not even a household name. It's good to be in a forum like this. Upon surfing the internet, I realized the situation is not simple for even practicing network techs. None could suggest what I've got here. I can't find a rare(the first since 1999) scenario like this in the classroom buddy!
The first thing i would do is to delete the printer from the pc and re-install using a USB port to be sure that either the LAPTOP or PC can print using this port.
The second option is re-installing the printer on Network by assigning a new IP address both on the PC or LAPTOP and ping to confirm communication between the PC or LAPTOP with the printer(ie IR2018).
The last option would be to do a clear all thru the service mode on the printer and re- install the printer;i would also re-install the firmware if all options fail and re-install the printer
