That very occasionally happens to me, though my machine is a desktop
that sits beside the printer. The following seems to work most of the
time:

$ sudo avahi-browse -a -t

That will list visible devices on the local network, and seems to be
sufficient to wake up the printer. There may be a shorter way to do it
but I can't be bothered investigating.

Failing that, power-cycling the printer should do the trick.
