Need techy assistance with wireless printer

[KCI]

I purchased a wireless printer about a year ago and had a hard time setting it up to print wirelessly, but I finally got it right. It worked great up until a week or so ago and now if I try to print something from the computer I'll get a small window on the computer saying "it's printing", but nothing happens. If I check the status of the default printer the cue shows it and says it's printing, but it doesn't print. The printer works wirelessly with DW computer and works OK on mine with a hard wire. It's a mystery and I sure could use any assistance that you can provide.
I did do a system restore about a week ago and that may have messed up the printer. I did go into the printer diagnostic and reset the password, but that didn't help.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer's software on your computer?

I have a Canon printer which had similar issues after I did a fresh OS re-install and such an uninstall/reinstall solved them. I still had the original install CD which came with the printer and that worked. I guess there are other bits of stuff which operate for wireless vs wired printing and the reinstall got all those bits talking to each other properly. I use a Mac so things may be different from other OS's.
