Canon MG6505 giving me a 'printer not responding' error code

Hi there

My Canon Pixma 6300 series printer has stopped printing since I changed broadband provider about a month ago. Initially the printer was greyed out on my laptop whenever i tried to print, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. After that it was recognised by my laptop, so I can now send stuff to print, but after a minute a printer dialogue box pops up on screen with the message 'Printer not responding'.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully received : )
