Printer continually offline

Hi - I recently set up a Brother MCF 665CW on a wireless network with
an HP laptop running on Vista. Initially everything worked fine but a
few days later (the next time someone tried to print) the laptop
showed that the printer was offline.

I have tried the following:
- made sure "use printer offline" was set (or whichever way around its
supposed to be; I did check this with Brother)
- pinged the printer successfully
- turned printer on and off
- disabled "enable bidirectional support"
- spent 1 hr 50 mins on the phone with Brother support and went
through everything with them that they could suggest
- uninstalled, reinstalled software and drivers

I think that's about it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This may work. BEFORE sending the print job, go to the control panel
and open the printer icon. Then, RIGHT-CLICK on the printer to which you
intend to send your print job. Choose the option about halfway down, to
-Use printer online-. This will change the status from use printer
offline to use printer online. It should work.
