I am running Windows 7 and have an HP LaserJet which is connected to my wireless network using an adapter. The printer goes offline everyday when I restart my computer (or it comes out of sleep mode), but even if I get the printer to show as "Ready" (by unchecking or checking SNMP setting), it won't print until I reset the adpater (by unplugging the power). Then it will work for additional print jobs as well. The IP address of the printer does not change and I have even tried using a fixed IP address (including one outside the range I set for the wireless router). Is this more likely an issue with the router than with Windows 7? Seth Thomas

Do you have any additional printer software installed apart from the driver, which tries to contact the printer at bootup? That could also cause that sort of problems. Wolfgang
