Printer offline

I have Cannon printer connected to a Desktop Vista PC via USB. It is
networked to a Vista Laptop and an XP Laptop via wireless. Had it all
working fine for months but all of a sudden I get it's offline on the two
laptops.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ed.

Re: Printer offline

Many network printer issue can be fixed by adding it as local printer first
and then remap it as network printer. Or check this search result.
