    I have the same problem but I'm convinced that the problem originates from Windows 8.1 because,

    1. I didn't have any problems until today
    2. the printer is only a couple of weeks old DELL 2155 cdn
    3. the printer is connected to our home network
    4. I also use a MacBook Pro on the same network and it is still printing without any problems
    5. I removed the printer and reinstalled it.
    6. a test page printed on installation
    7. now that the PC has had a chance to "Sleep" it thinks that the printer is offline and bugger me if there's no option in Windows to bring it back from the dead

    Now, can Microsoft sort that one out
