I recently replaced our HP4250 Network printer with a HP MP602dn. I gave the new printer a static IP address, mask, & gatway and added the printer to the Network Printserver (Windows Server 2003 R2). I have this printer and a Dell 5130cdn both connected to a Netgear Dual Speed Hub (10/100Mbps DS104). The printer works fine, mostly. Several times a day it will appear "Offline" on the print server, but the printer display shows "Ready". I've discovered that I have to "reset" the Netgear hub by unplugging and then plugging it back in and then the printers start working again. I've replaced the hub, but the problem perisists. This did not occur when the HP 4250 was in use. The HP 602 network port speed was set to "Auto", but I changed it to "100 Full tx" and the problem still exists. I've even turned off the "Auto Sleep" mode. Anyone have a solution?
