Go into printers and faxes in Xp or Printers and devices in Windows 7. Double click on the printer icon and click on file and then Offline and it will change to online. That should do it.

It's possible that the SNMP Status Enabled box is checked on the print server (Printer/Properties/Ports/Port Settings). When you disabled SNMP or changed the community name on the printer, the server was no longer getting status updates and so flagged it as offline. Make sure the community names match.
