I have just found out that after the upgrade, you will need to
re-install all your network printers that are using TCP/IP ports for
connections because for some reasons the printers are just showing
"offline" when in fact they are all online 24/7.

I just did that to connect to some 20 printers at my University on one
of my Windows 8.1 laptop. Don't know why this happened but the printer
drivers are still the same as Windows 8. MAjority are HP printers and
the new drivers were released in September but they are compatible with
Windows 8.1 according to HP website. I am using Universal Drivers for
all my printers.

The other printer/copiers are from Ricoh and those too needed to be
reconnected. So something is definitely changing when updating to 8.1.
There is nothing online yet but we should see something soon because
there must be many people in this situation.
