Window 7 loses printer on wireless network

Forum Wireless Networking : General Discussion Window 7 loses printer on wireless network

Hello,
I have a wireless home network running through a Linksys WRT54GL router. I have a MacBook, Windows Vista, XP, and 7 on the wireless network plus a wireless printer. My problem is Win7 and the printer. I can set up the printer and it works well for about 24 hours then goes offline for the Win7 machine (OK for others). I then have to set up the printer again. Any ideas on keeping the printer online? I have updated all drivers.

Good thoughts but my printer is a Brother multi-function. I found a piece of software on the Brother website which solved the problem.
