    network printer fails to print, no error message given

    On the network, I can see the printer and it says Ready. When I remotely try
    to print, nothing happens. Not even an error message. The only clue is that
    the printer status reads "error".
    I can hardwire the laptop (which is using Vista Home Premium) to the network
    (an XP-based system) printer, and can print just fine.
    Any suggestions?

    How many PCs in the network?

    To what exactly is the printer connected?
