Rebooting/restarting the printer with the page in queue will restart with the page printing.

 

It appears that when leaving the printer online for an extended time, it gets confused and I will recieve either an "offline" or "another computer is using this printer" when I need to print. So far restarting the printer gets it working for me.

 

I hope thiss method works for all of you as well.
