It's doing it right now!
The icon is NOT grayed out this time, but reporting an error -
printing. I did not leave the network this time... only a sleep mode
was entered.
(SETUP: Toshiba Laptop w/Vista through Linksys Wireless Router/switch to
new XP machine with HP Deskjet 1220 connected via USB. Printer tests ok
from XP machine)
This Vista crap is what has kept me away from the Computer Guys forum
for the last six months.... trying to make my old stuff work or find
replacements.

Click online when you are back onto the network.
This is NOT a VISTA issue, but has been true since at least W2K!

Subject: [CGUYS] Vista and Printer Problems
Has anyone had problems with Vista printer drivers quitting.
It seems to happen each time I use my computer away from my home network.
The printer icons become 'grayed out', and the spoolers report 'error
printing'. The only solution I can find is to delete all the print
jobs, delete the printer driver, and reinstall to get the printer going
again. I now have 3 Vista computers that do the same thing, and 3
different printers involved in the fiasco. I am growing weary of these
problems keeping me from getting my work done.
