This may not be the perfect place to post this, but it does deal with networking. If it needs to be moved, then please move it to the correct area. Thx!
Our church has an HP LaserJet 4600 dn printer that is networked to all of our computers and has worked perfect on all of them for a long, long time. Suddenly this week one of our Windows 7 Pro 64 bit computers has started showing the printer as being "offline". After an hour last night I finally removed the printer and let Windows re-install it and it started working again. Then today, it has stopped again. I shows the printer as "offline" again.
All other computers on the network still print fine on this printer. The computer in question still surfs the web and I can see everything on the network, it just will not print to the printer. Since HP actually does not have a driver for this printer, it uses a Microsoft driver from within the OS...I'm lost.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be happening and how to fix it?
