I have a relatively new (~2 months old) LaserJet 1536dnf MFP that has been successfully installed and functioning on my network via hardline ethernet connection. However, recently the printer lost connection to the network. The lights next to the ethernet port are not turned on (neither blinking or steady), either at the printer or at the network switch it is plugged into.
I have attempted the following steps to remedy the situation, both independently and in combination:
- Restarted the printer via power button
- Restarted the printer via removing/replugging the power cord
- Reset the network switch
- Replacing the ethernet cable
- Moved ethernet connection to different port in network switch
- Reinstalling the printer drivers
None of these steps has fixed the situation. Network plug lights have remained "off" following each step.
Is there anything else I can try, or is it fair to say that the ethernet connection on the printer has somehow stopped working?
Thanks in advance!

You have done good with the information. However, I think you need to grab your receipt and take it back or call HP as I believe the Ethernet port may have gone bad.

I've had this printer for at least two years and it stopped working recently. Reading the summaries and advice, I checked cables and discovered that the ethernet cable had come out of the switchbox. Not sure how that could have happened, but it was so unexpected that it might have taken me hours to discover it if I hadn't read these posts first. Thanks to all those who conttibute to discussion boards.
