Hp cp1525nw AirPrint issues

[Will4555]

Hi, I recently purchased the cp1525nw setup was easy (for the computers at least) it was all working and quality was great, however AirPrint wasn't working so I downloaded the new firmware and updated the printer successfully AirPrint still not working so I then checked the router, firmware was upto date, so I then followed advice and forwarded port 5353 this helped and AirPrint now occasionally works using an app on the iPad I can see all bonjour services which are currently running from this I can see that the HP AirPrint is not always running its on and off when it works it's great but this is maybe 5% of the day. Has anyone got any help thanks.

First, restart the router by pulling its power plug momentarily (what router is it?).

Next, let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:

- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.

Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Hi thanks for your advice I've managed to setup a static ip however this has not solved the issue just to let you know the router is a belkin F5D8636-4 v2. This is how it's currently working (printer works with all computers all the time) if I restart the printer then it appears on iOS devices this is the same if I restart iPhone or iPad instead however if I don't print for a while or leave the wifi area then rejoin the printer is not found then after a restart it appears this is not practical and the printer is not working as it should do you have any other suggestions it's as if the AirPrint service stops after a period of time. To try a stop this I disabled powersave to no effect Thanks in advance

OK, that is odd, this usually works.  Make sure your Belkin router has updated firmware.

Restarting the router may also help, they do get into funny states...
