I dont know how or why but i cant print from my laptop anymore to our printer

I have a hp l7580 printer wired to a wifi router
I can print from our other desktop computer.
but for some reason not from my laptop.

I googled the heck out of it tried some fixes and now i think its well past the point of no return.

My son said he had no luck printing from his laptop either sooooo.
We are both running windows 7
My is a Lenovo
sons is a ASUS
I can see the printer and it on the right address (tinner105)
but it says its offline.

Thanks for the help

Uninstall the printer then turn off the computer, turn it back on, plug the printer in via a USB cable and let it self install and check that it prints OK. Turn off the computer, unplug the printer and connect it to the router again, then ask the laptop to find a printer on the network - Usually works.

Go over to the printer, and using it's menu, find the IP address of the printer, write it down. Go over to the laptop, and go to Devices and Printers. Right click the printer, if it's there, and Delete it. Now, go to the tool bar and Add a Device. It should list the wireless printer. Click to add
You can also go to Start/Search and type the IP address of the printer (eg) \\192.168.1.2

I suggest also that you check IP address off your printer on laptop (i suggest that you wired your printer over LAN) , check on printer which address is set and check on laptop is the same..Or try ping from cmd on laptop that address, also i suggest to set up manual ip address on printer and exclude on router that ip address form dhcp..
