Now I can only print from my main laptop and the other 3 does not see the printer and they can not even ping the printer's IP address. I search all over internet and tech forums and found some other people who have the same problem but so far no solutions found.

Anyone experienced the same problem?

Cheers!
Try using a static IP address for the printer.
