I am on a laptop on a wireless internet connection, and it usaed to be fine, I could print from it and everything. However, one day, it just said it couldn't print, and it doesn't seem to be able to see the computer, although the wireless internet works fine. This is really annoying, as I often want to print things off. I haven't changed anything at all. any help?

Can the computer see the laptop? If you go to "my network places" on the computer & then on the laptop, what do you see?
Can you ping the laptop from the computer & vice versa. Have you started using a firewall on the computer?

This happened to me the other day: I tried to ping it, but it was blocking the IP and other thingys. I installed the printer again, and edited the networking on our home computer (or boris as it's called) and it seemed to be ok after that.

Do what andy-piano-flute says and ping it (go to command prompt and at the end of everything type ping boris as was the case for me, but replace boris with the name of your home comp)

Try turning the printer on and ensuring it has paper.

It doesn't even get to that stage! It can't see any printers!

In that case my dear, you don't have a printer...

Oi! I am not completely computer illiterate!

Reinstall the printer then.

We've tried that...it didn't work

It won't ping, it says it can't find home
