Make sure you have the Windows 10 driver OJ8610_198 that came out early in 2016 for Windows 10. <br />
<br />
I have that printer in my home office networked (wired) and I use it with my Desktop and Laptop computer. The latter travels with me, suspends and so on. It always connects. <br />
<br />
Make sure then, two things:<br />
<br />
1. That the Printer has a static IP address on your network. <br />
2. That you have the very new Windows 10 driver installed. Uninstall existing driver, restart and install the newest one.

periodically, I will have a NIC lock up on me, and I can use cmd.exe to disable/enable and fix the problem. &nbsp;Is there something similar for printers. &nbsp;All I remember from DOS was the Print command...

<i>periodically, I will have a NIC lock up on me, ...... Is there something similar for printers</i><br />
<br />
I am not having these issue. I suggest the newest NIC driver in addition to the newest printer driver.<br />
<br />
Also run SFC /SCANNOW from an admin command prompt, allow to complete, shut down (power off), start up and then test again. See if that helps.

How do you interpret these cbs.logs? &nbsp;this is a huge file. &nbsp;How do you find the evil stuff? &nbsp;and then what do you do about it??
</div>


<div>
First, thank you. Second with respect to CBS logs, they are huge. Normally I do not need to read through them. SFC normally corrects errors and I then move on. If necessary, I look toward for errors.

I have Windows 10 and an HP Officejet Pro 8610.  Is there a way to reconnect a printer without having to reboot or reinstall the software?  Whenever Win10 sleeps/hibernates/screensaver, when it wakes up, I can't print.  No errors, no messages, acts like it has printed but nothing comes out.  Any thoughts?  I thought about the HP printer driver, so I updated it.  After the update, the printer sat there blinking, and I had to call HP and work with them for 3 hours.  They shipped me a new printer, but this one behaves the same way.  So it works great so long as I do not upgrade the software or let it sleep/hibernate/screensave.

WIN10 PC goes to sleep, HP Officejet Pro 8610 won't print when wakes up

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

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.
