Big Printer Issue

[mrjoelabs]

I have 30 laptops on a wireless network. A lexmark printer is plugged into one of the access point routers via CAT5 cable. Previously everything worked fine, each laptop could print to the printer over the network. Suddenly this week the printer recieves no data from any of the computers. I assumed one of them had files that were bad in the print que, found this to be the case and deleted them. However the printer is still blind to any files sent to it. This is in XP. Each laptop simply says "document failed to print" and will not print.

Can anyone help?

is it possible the IP assigned to the printer was changed?

I do not believe so... it is set up through the auto lexmark virtual printer port (not regular tcp/ip) so even if it did it should have adjusted.

Have you tried just a reboot of the printer.
Reboot of the wireless router?
