First, on a scale of 1 to 10, I am probably about a 4 in computer savvy. I can operate them, just don't know how to put them together or fix them!
Until two weeks ago we never had problems with the printer (Cannon i560s). All of a sudden I get the error message on my computer "printer offline" Husband's s is the host computer & both computers show the printer is online. All the network stuff seems to be fine. Husband has deleted and reinstalled driver on my computer. All settings are the same on both computers. He has no problem with the printer.

HELP! I am ready to go buy my own printer and forget this network situation. thanks

check the connections, power connection, parallel connection to the computer. try turning it on and off. make sure its the default printer.
