[QUOTE="hphater, post: 202804, member: 5311"] For one thing, printers on network that are assigned IP addresses by router, sometimes remove that address, if the device (any device) is turned off > the set time to hold the IP (often 24 hr). There may be settings in the printer to wake on print job. Next time it won't print, before rebooting, check the printer's IP address, for it's network settings in its control panel. Check that against the addresses setup in the wireless computers. When you reboot, it may cause router to assign a new IP to printer (where it was lost before). A way around this is to assign the printer a static IP addr. - that is OUTSIDE the router's IP assignment range. You can find articles how to do this - probably on printer's support site. If routers IP range is 100 - 149, via the printer's Web UI, you'd follow instructions on assigning static IP; choose one higher than router's last address (here, 149). Another thing, run check on your computers' network adapters - make sure they're functioning. Then, you'll have to set all wireless computers to use the newly assigned printer port (IP) address.
