    I am getting a dialog box when I attempt to print to my wireless printer that indicates I am connected to a VPN. The text of the message says: "The print spooler was unable to connect to your printer. This can be caused by your printer bing turned off, the cable being unplugged, or being connected to a VPN, which will block your access to your local network. Your document will print when the printer becomes available."

    This behavior began on Saturday, 12/13. I am able to print when hard wired to the printer and can also print wirelessly from another PC.

    I am running Windows XP SP3.

    Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

    Have youtried to reset your wireless printer router?

    I powered the printer down and restarted it. That seems to have fixed the problem for me. Many thanks.
