Why does my network printer disappear?
I am using Windows Vista 32 on my new laptop.
I have just purchased an HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one and successfully installed and printed from it through my home network - but only for a few days at a time! Every few days it disappears from the list in Control PanelPrinters, and also does not appear in the printer choice box in Word. I have reinstalled it by using the supplied CD and also from downloaded software from HP a number of times, but it refuses to stay. This same printer is installed on my XP Desktop without any problems whatsoever. Can anyone help please? |

I had this problem too. I was able to go into my router and set a fixed IP address for the printer and that did it. -- hkancyr Ultimate 64 QX6700 Badaxe2 4Gigs Corsair 6400 8800GTX 768 6X 500Gig 2X 160Gig |

HP has a fix for this on their website.
