What is the IP and Subnet mask on Printer and Workstation?

It could be the printer is on a different subnet from the workstation and the server in question is on both...

Unfortunately, the 2008 server is my DHCP server as well, so they should be on the same subnet. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Just in case, I did just double check that fact, and printer, server, and workstation are on the same subnet.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am currently using a Win7x64 machine on which I have been printing over the network through my Windows 2008 server. &nbsp;Everything has been fine on it for 8 months now. &nbsp;Suddenly, yesterday all of the printers through that server are showing offline. &nbsp;However, I can rdp into the server and print to the same printers from the server just fine.<br />
<br />
I have restarted the print spoolers on both the server and the Win7 machine with no success. &nbsp;I tried to uninstall one of the printers, but now I cannot reconnect it. &nbsp;I get an error that says Windows cannot connect to this printer, and the details are Operation failed with 0x00000002.<br />
<br />
Any ideas would be appreciated.
