    The printer has been working completely fine (it's wireless).

    It just ran out of paper, I inserted new paper, and now it won't print anything. It says the printer is ready and connected but nothing goes through to the queue.

    I have lots of documents I need to print so this is a bit troubling right now. Anyone know what to do?

    Usually this means there is a job stuck in que, either with the same machine and/or different log in or another machine. clear all ques from any device connected and all logins too.

    I have 2 Samsung wireless laser printers on the home network that are full wireless and not attached to a router or PC.

    If the queue is empty the print jobs are not being sent on the network.

    Access your routers settings and see if the printer's address has changed.

    You might try uninstalling the printer software,remove printer from power source then reinstall the software/driver and set it up again as wireless network printer.

    Is it your only printer?

    Is it fully wireless or is it attached to the router via lan cable or USB?

    Fully wireless, there might be a USB, not sure.
    I checked in the router and the IP is the same, looks connected and says connected.

    I also reinstalled the driver.

    Nothing worked so far.
