1.A working printer keeps going offline

We have a networked Brother printer that can be accessed and printed
to by anyone and everything except via the terminal server. It says
offline and when we try to bring it online it says Operation could not
be completed.

All other printers are just fine, and the web interface to the printer
says everything is goow. Help!

Please. It's the owners printer.

2.Printers keep going offline for no reason

All 4 of the printers in our offline on the network keep going offline. 
Sometimes if we delete all items in the queue and recycle the power they 
come back online.  It is a completely random occurrence, I have checked the 
network cables, I can ping the printers, but sometimes they bring themselves 
back online, other times they don't!  They are all different brands or 
models but it happens to any of them.  Three are over five years old and 
never had this problem until recently.

What else can I check?

3.Printers keep going offline

We have three printers on our network that are shared by everyone.  They are 
different brands and different ages.
Randomly any one of them will stop printing and if you look at the 
properties it will say that printer is offline.  Sometimes removing 
everything from the print queue and restarting it works.  Sometimes you have 
to power if off completely.  Sometimes nothing works.  The print spooler on 
the server and PC never seems to be stopped, and stopping and starting it 
doesn't change anything.
But, a few hours, or days later, all of a sudden it is online again as 
though nothing happened.  This happens at least once a week, to a random 
printer.

What would cause this?

4.Printer keeps going offline

I have 2 networked computers, one XP and one Vista, sharing a printer through 
a wireless router. The printer is always online with the XP, but regularly 
drops offline with the Vista. I've found no way to get the printer back 
online execpt to reinstall it. How can I prevent this, or at least to get the 
printer back online without reinstalling?

5.Printer Driver keeps going offline

My printer's driver seems be set at " offline " at times.

I turn the computer off when not in use, & I don't think the setting
goes to "offline" while the computer is on, only if I turn the
computer off.  

& I cannot say if it always happens when the computer is turned off
either.

It should always say " ready " right?

It's not a real big deal, as I can always access the control panel &
set it to " ready ", but it is a pain in the butt, especially of I am
on the Interent & want to print something.

I don't think it matters, but it is a Brother MFC 5100C USB driver.
(Could it be the driver's fault somehow?)
