My Canon printer MX860 says it is offline. I've tried resuming it and it won't resume or print from my laptop. Two computers are connected to it via airport, a desk top and a laptop. Both are Macs. The desktop is able to print. HELP?
Optional Information: Make: Canon Model: MX860 Already Tried: I've tried resuming and it clicks back to offline. I've tried turning it off and on at the printer and it still won't go online after I restart everything. I haven't tried turning off the wireless router....

Can I ask why this happens? I thought perhaps it was that when something printed from the desktop it knocked the laptop offline?
Is it working now? Thank youJohn CappucciComputer Science Engineer
Yes it is. I wondered why it happens?
Hard to say, it could be a user mistake or just the computer that "forgot" the way to communicate with the printer.Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless for you and your family.Thank youJohn CappucciComputer Science Engineer
