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?

You need to post to NG(s)/forums that have XP or Vista in the name.
