Opinion: HP's printer business practices have infuriated users for years.

    If it is network connected, consider giving it a static IP in the router. I can imagine the computer being confused by the printer having a new IP since last time (can happen with automatic IP), when you try to print something.

      All the devices on my network have static IPs. We have a system.

        I’m sure your issue is valid on your particular system, but I have two Brother L2300D printers in different locations and my experience has been exactly zzzzz’s above. I have changed the toner once for each in years, and it’s always reliable. It may be you having a rare issue.

          I’m sure there are owners of every brand of printer that are perfectly happy with them. :)
