Printer Offline Question

I have a computer attached to 2 printers and it's worked fine this way for a year or so since I got the second printer attached.

The first printer is a Samsung Laser copier, the second printer is an HP 1020 laser printer.

Recently, for some mystefying reason the HP 1020 shows up as offline in the control panel now and has stopped printing.

It's properly hooked up and everything, just can't print any documents off on that printer. I think it is not recognizing the usb port. I've tried plugging it into every other usb port available, but the network can't see the printer sitting there; so, I can't print anything.

The printer is fine because I've hooked it up to another computer and it works flawlessly over on that PC.
For some reason the computer can't see that the HP 1020 is hooked up to it and do something about it.
Thanks for any ideas.

I had a situation on my laptop a few years ago, it one day just wouldn't recognize one of my laser printers . perhaps try uninstalling & reinstalling the driver (it worked for me).
