network printer fails to print, no error message given   

On the network, I can see the printer and it says Ready.  When I remotely try 
to print, nothing happens.  Not even an error message.  The only clue is that 
the printer status reads "error".
I can hardwire the laptop (which is using Vista Home Premium) to the network 
(an XP-based system) printer, and can print just fine.  
Any suggestions?

How many PCs in the network?

To what exactly is the printer connected?
