Printer Stuck in Offline Mode

I know this has been done to death for Vista 32 but I'm switching over to X64 and cannot solve the problem. I started by putting in the newest 64 bit drivers for my Brother HL-5250DN on my desktop computer. Everything went hunky dory, printed a page etc. Did the same with my i1720 Laptop thru a Linksys 150N router, careful to put in the correct ip address for the printer etc. Worked great so network is getting spooler info. Went to bed with a smile. This morning, you've guessed it, "both" printers are offline. Came to this site and saw lots of suggestions but none worked for me and my X64. I did find a hotfix at microsoft and had them send me a password protected fix for the problem but at the end I got a message that it was only for i386 computers. Are there any other fixes available? According to SSSandra I have Vista X64 with Sp1 and Sp2 loaded.
