HP Officejet 7200 Will Not Print

> I have a HP Officejet 7200 printer that is (has been up until now) connected
> through a Linksys wireless-G broadband router, to my HP laptop computer and
> also to my desktop computer, using Charter's broadband service. As of
> yesterday, I have been getting the following message when I try to print from
> either of the computers:
>
> "The print spooler was unable to connect to your printer. This can be caused
> by your printer being turned off, the cable being unplugged or being
> connected to a VPN which will block your access to your local network."
>
> I was able to print yesterday morning. Even after getting a few of these
> same printing errors when I tried to print, the laptop would suddenly decide
> to print an item, then no more. This morning, I was able to print one test
> page, and then more error messages. So, I am guessing the computers are
> connecting at least part of the time with the printer. The printer is turned
> on. As near as I can tell, the cables are all connected. However, when I try
> to run the setup from the printer, I get a message on the printer that the
> computer is not connected.
>
> I do not know what a "VPN" is.

> Can anyone help me locate my problem??
