I had the same problem with my Epson printer a while back.
I turned it off at the wall ,waited about 5 mins and turned it back on.
It worked  ;D

Not very technical but I often finding turning stuff off then back on works.

 . . . . . but did you try turning everything off, cup of tea, turning everything back on?

Can the laptop "see" the print queue?  If so are there print jobs waiting?  If not, try reconnecting the printer (from the view printers menu right click the icon for the printer in question).

Sometimes you have to physically remove the power cable for the obligatory 30seconds.. sometimes I wished my kettle would boil that fast ;D

Oops should have said shut the laptop down at the same time too lol
