Thanks for the reply.
I swear the last time this happened, I tried to disable the print job from the printer queue and then restart it again after the printer had been turned on. I even printed a second copy of the document after the printer had been turned on but it too did not print. Now what seems to have happened is that I turned the laptop off and later that day turned it back on but this time the printer was turned on first. When I did this the laptop's printer queue, queued both print jobs and they both printed. I was assuming that there was some way in which the laptop could be coaxed into testing the connection between the laptop and the printer without having to perform a restart. If this is not possible, let me know. Thanks.
