ok so i had a stack of docuemnts to print before a meeting, hit Print, and nothing. the queue says the label printer is offline. its sitting right there, powered on, connected over a print server, showing a happy ready light :/ my phone can even print to it. this started after the Dell Printer Personal All-in-One A920 Driver 7/2/2003 update. this is what i see:

USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
Ive restarted the printer, the PC, and the router. It comes back for a bit and then goes offline again. Im running out of patience and paper deadlines. Whats actually going on here??
