And wireless printers are even more temperamental. Because wireless connections are always dropping or slowing down. The more people who join the network, the slower the WiFi and wireless printers are also going down.

So, I now have a Printer Troubleshooting 101 guide.
You're welcome.

a)  If your printer is online it has a full color icon.  If printer is offline it is greyed out.
2.    If Offline--> Check cables (Internet cable and/or USB cable)
3.    Turn Printer Off and On Again
