Network Printer problem

by soundguy_99 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

Hey guys,
Wondering if some one can help me out,
I have a HP J6480 Network printer.
Now it was working fine, until recently when I tried to print something.
Now I have the printer networked through a wireless router so my PC and my laptop and print off of it.
I checked both the network settings on the printer as well as my TCPIP settings on both computers. I have even reinstalled the printer drivers on my desktop,as well as checking the ink levels.
Whats strange is that I can access my printer and its setting through its IP address and even print test pages from the printer itself or through the Printers settings Page.
I can even ping the printer, yet I can`t print to it.
I even tried pluging in my laptop directly though the printer through the Ethernet port, and still nothing, which makes me think its not the router.
The only way it seems to work is when I use the USB jack.
I am puzzled why the connection is not there,
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
