HI I have this connected and running over a wireless LAN (Linksys) after a
period of time say over night I can no longer print to the printer, the
printer says its connected and has an ip address. I have to reset the
connections on the printer and put them back in again and it works. Before
resetting if I try and find the router from my printer it can not find it,
yet the PC and Laptop on the LAN can no problems.

Does this sound like a problem, am using WPA (which the printer supports)
for my wireless encryption. Its very frustrating to keep resetting etc.
Anybody have some ideas?

Thanks

Jerry
 
Try assigning it a static IP.. could be that the IP lease runs out, and it
cant renew it.

Thanks I will try that, I should have also have said its on WPA2 not WPA
could that make a difference?
 
WPA2..... TKIP and/or AES can also make a big difference.
