Printer status goes offline on desktop

Zone: Printers by HP

Tags: printer, offline, status, hp

I have an HP 2600n configure with a static ip address in the same range as the three computers on the same network.

I have configured a tcp/ip port on each computer to the static ip on the printer.

All three computers are a member of the same workgroup name and can see each others files.

I can ping the static ip address from any computer while printer is showing offline.

On all three computers the print device is going offline and the only way to reestablish connection is to delete and recreate the print device after which you can print to the printer but after a period of time goes by the print device goes to offline and there is nothing I can do to bring back online with recreating the print device. The printer is always on and online and the computer are turned off nightly.

A solution to this problem would be appreciated.

Thank you.
