Wireless printer going 'offline'

I hope someone could help me with my wireless printer problems!
I recently installed a wireless printer (HP F4580) which worked fine for a while but now it seems to go offline quite often, even when I remove the 'printer offline' tick it does'nt seem to work unless I restart the computer a few times! this happens more for the desktop than the laptop.

I've tried using the help link provided by HP but no luck and continually get the message that the 'printer is disconnected'.

    I've also just installed the same printer and also having problems, installed it on sat and worked fine, was disconected on sun so I uninstalled and reinstalled and again fine and now tonight it's disconected again :confused:
    I'd also be interested if anyone can offer a solution.
    Thanks

    are you using the Generic drivers from your operating system? (I take it you are using windows) If so - try going to the HP website and downloading the correct drivers from there.
