My Dell Photo Printer 720 has stopped printed, no response at all to print jobs. I have unplugged the printer, no change. I have rebooted the computer, no change.

I have this printer hooked up to a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop via USB cable and it keeps telling me that the printer can't communicate with the computer.
