What kind of printer is it? Manufacturer's name and model number would
be greatly helpful. I see that you're connected via network... have you
tried using USB (if your printer has USB support) for that printer to
see if it will work? Also, since you're network attached, do you have
the correct driver for your printer, and are you using the correct port
for that driver? If you're not using the correct driver and/or port,
your printer will never wake up and accept data from your computer. I
can't be any more helpful to you without more information.
