Can't get printer back online

I have a wireless connection to my printer but for some reason today it stopped printing.

I was able to see that the print tasks were lining up in a queue, but they weren't printing.

I have turned my laptop and my printer off and on again (always a good place to start!) and I have made sure that the "Use printer offline" isn't checked.

Is there something else that I am missing?

Thanks.

With mine it is nearly always a lead come loose, check for that.
What OS are you using ? You may have to reinstall your printer again on your network .
Good point there galeck
Check it's not run out of paper and/or ink. You might have missed the notification message. Check connection.

Thanks for your replies.

I have checked cables, paper and ink - all seem ok.

I forgot to say that I have another laptop which uses the same printer and it is printing ok, although it is connected directly by cable. That has to mean that it is the wireless connection - right? But what do I need to check or do?
