Have you configured any and all firewalls running on the computer to which the printer is attached to allow local network access?

Have you shared the printer that is attached to the compter? Also from the downstairs computer have you installed the printer as a network printer?
 
Also you might have to have the computer that is conected to the printer on while you are working from downstairs, or you could get a wireless printer server.
