    Printer drops offline in wireless network

    I have 2 networked computers, one XP and one Vista, sharing a printer through
    a wireless router. The printer is always online with the XP, but regularly
    drops offline with the Vista. I've found no way to get the printer back
    online except to reinstall it. How can I keep the printer from dropping out,
    or at least get the printer back online without reinstalling?
