Printer offline

[Ed.]

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.

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.
