Hi,

have a look at the print system of the laptop... if it's linux & cups, 
look at localhost:631 and "printers". Cups stops print queues when 
errors occure by default.
Same may be, if your laptop runs on windows, have a look at the 
"settings/devices/printers/<yourprinter>" ... if it is "offline" means 
connection to the cups server is somehow lost.

Also check the cups on the server, same thing, queue may be stopped.
