How do I get the printer back on line?

What happens when you power off your computer and then power it on? does the printer come back to ready in that case? This behaviour commonly occurs when using a network connected printer on a WSD port for the driver. WSD ports are notorious for dropping the connection to printers and requiring a restart. If network attached you are better off using a Standard TCP/IP port. There is an article in the knowledge base on how to do this.
