HP 8150 'offline'

I have recently had a computer die, which has necessitated attaching my otherwise super reliable hp8150 printer to my Vista laptop via a network cable. It worked fine for a few days, but now it doesn't. It is showing 'ready' but in control panel/printers it shows 'offline' Pinging it does no good as it cannot be seen. I have tried using 'service.msc' to restart the spooler, to no avail. Any ideas as I REALLY need the printer to work on a heavy deadline.
