    Wireless printing problems.


    I'm having a problem waking my wireless printers. It first started out with a new inexpensive HP AIO printer I bought from Walmart. The only way I could wake it was to unplug it and restart it. Someone gave me their old HP AIO and after a short time it started doing the same thing. Now my Brother laser printer doesn't always wake once it goes into deep sleep mode. I never had problems with it until recently. I'm running the Windows Insider Build 20262fe. I've also have had to reset my router a few times because I lost the internet. My question is, could it be the router causing my problems or maybe that I'm running a Insider build?

    Check the Power Management tab for the wireless network adapter (Properties > Configure).

    Do you have your printer setup for static or dynamic IP. I recommend trying static Why Use Static Addresses for Printers? | Small Business - Chron.com

    I finally fixed my problem. I found out that if I restarted the router without touching the printers as soon as the router was booted my printers would start printing without me touching them. I decided to replace my router and so far I haven't had any problems with my printers. I'm guessing that the router is suppose to send a wake up signal to the printer and for some reason it wasn't.
