Network printer is displayed incorrectly as offline.

We are experiencing exactly what the above article describes. However, we are having the issue only on Windows 8.1 

When a user works from home, on their laptops, during the evening, the shared printers are shown as offline, when they get into the office the next morning. Only a restart of the print spooler solves the problem, until next time they work from home.

The hotfix is only for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. Any suggestions how to fix this on Windows 8.1?

The fix is not working for 8.1
