Hi,

Do you use DHCP on your network? It could be that the PC with the printer attached is changing its IP address when it reboots and confusing your configuration - I'm not too sure about this, but the routing tables may keep the NetBIOS name andIP adress cached.

I would have thought that a reboot of your machine would clear that up, though.

Cheers,
Tim.

Give the laserjet a static IP address. If you are using DHCP make sure it knows not to use the address you just gave the printer. After that set it up as a network printer and you should not have any issues
