Sounds like a faulty jet direct (NIC on printer) or the switch port its plugged into is faulty.

NRhode has a good point i would try to move it to a new switch port as well just to be 100% sure.

would changing the ip address do anything? &nbsp;Could there be a conflict?

It is possible there could be a conflict...best way to tell that is to just take the printer offline and keep pinging the IP address. If you still get a response then ya there is something else using that IP. or just change it to something you know is free, its a process of elimination.

Sometimes Disabling SNMP in the port settings will help with this.

I have a savin clp 128 color printer that is networked. &nbsp;It has worked fine for 5 years. &nbsp;Now, it loses connection from the network. &nbsp;I can ping the printer ip and then about a half hour later it can't be pinged. &nbsp;When I turn the power off and on everything works and then about half hour or more later it stops communicating. &nbsp;The guy from the company we bought it from came and hooked up a laptop to it and updated the firmware and said he was able to continually ping the network card. &nbsp;He could not find the problem. &nbsp;Any ideas?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
