How can I get my printer wireless reconnected without having to restart my computer?

I have a HP Photosmart Premium printer installed as a wireless device. Often, when I closed my laptop via the mode 'sleep', I apparently lose the connection to the printer. When I try to print a document, it does not print and the printer status shows "offline".

What could happen:

The printer is for wireless operation. During installation, an address on the network is requested by the DHCP service on the router. This address is entered in the connection information for the printer.

After a certain period, the computer is suspended. Will switch "standby". Close the wireless connection. Later, the computer wakes. An address is requested and issued. However, it is not the same address as that was iddued and registered in the connection information. If and when printing is started, the printing device is in standby mode because it now cannot connect through the old or new address.

This can be corrected temporarily be remove and reinstall the printer. However, it will fail the next time that the computer is paused.

Giving the printer address fixed, solved the problem because no address must be requested or issued by the router. There will always be the same.

===============

Maybe HP has released a fix for this problem. Check on their website for a new driver package. If offered a choice, download the full package. Install it, and then try again.

If they do not, or you get no joy, please check the print material included with the printer and that available for it on the web site. There should be instruction detailing how to set up for wireless communication. In addition, it is usually a page of instructions available on the printer itself that behaves like a web page. Find the name of the printer in network Prfnters. Mouse click and look for the network settings. For mine, it appears as a tab.

Take a look. Assess the situation. Let us know. Someone will help more.
