HP Deskjet won't print after computer goes to sleep

I recently bought an HP Deskjet D2330, and whenever my computer goes to sleep the printer connection is lost and I have to reboot the computer to get anything to print. Does anyone know of any way to get around this problem? Thanks so much!!

Some details about the computer could be helpful.

Sorry--it's a PC laptop I bought in 10/2006: Gateway-Notebook with AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52-MX6453. My operating system is windows xp. When I send a document to the printer after the computer has gone to sleep, it just gets stuck in the print queue and sometimes I can't even delete it. Also I hear the hard drive whirring and feel the computer getting hot. Once I reboot the computer, the document starts printing as soon as the computer starts up again.

Thanks so much!

I would contact Gateway first. THis may be a known issue to them. Are you the original owner? Is it still under warranty?

Thanks for the help! I figured out that if I unplug the printer after the computer goes to sleep and plug it back in after it wakes up, the printer connection is fine and I don't have to reboot, so all is well...
