Problem solved. Even though the printer was connected and my devices could see it, they couldn't print to it. I reset the printer to its factory settings, deleted all drivers from my computer and then started fresh as if I had just unboxed the printer and that did the trick.

Thanks rtbinbend for your update. It seems that the drivers "remember" specifics about the wifi connection or IP address such that they cannot print if the printer is connected to a new wireless network. It's unfortunate that there are so many reasons why wireless devices can fail after replacing a modem and/or router... We are still far from "plug and play" right now.
Chadmack (the OP) - Have you also tried uninstalling & reinstalling the printer drivers on one of your clients and see if that fixes your printing issue?
