Situation:
- HP printer w static IP. Minimal network config in device, ie no IPv6, all whacky HP and non essential services stuff turned off except AirPrint. Wired connection direct to router.
- PC, Mac, iOS clients all properly config'd to point at printers static IP
- Start all devices, works perfectly. Print from PC, Mac, iOS clients. Zero issues.
- AC3200 has nightly reboot scheduled. Works fine for all devices and zero WAN or wifi access issues before or after reboot.
Problem:
- After reboot no printing to wired printer works from any device
- Printer internal web server works fine - easily accessed from. 192.168.etc. can navigate printer info and config pages etc. but still cant send print jobs.
- Clients still seem to see printer - no error in connection - but jobs never seem to start, sit in hung in queue and printer doesnt show jobs coming through.
- Forceably reboot printer - all is well.
I have seen this weird problem before occaisionally with other printer makes/models on DD-WRT routers but not consistently and never figured out a cause or solution. Its like after the reboot either some packets arent getting to the printer, or, its print service demon hangs after the ethernet connection cycles.
Suggestions or BTDT?
