Why does the eprint service on my HP Photosmart 7510 get disabled when it is powered off? [ Edited ]

[greywolf512]

I bought this printer in January this year and I've had issue with the ePrint service not staying enabled when the printer turned off. Because of this I'm expereincing the following issues.

1. Efax is not working correctly. I can send faxes, but I cant recieve them. Also whenever I press fax on the printer it asks me to enable ePrint. 

2. I can't print from my phone and other remote location.

3. The printer sometimes shuts down on its own and never finishes the shut down process.

4. When I check efax.com I can see the faxes we've recieved, but I can't see that any faxes have been sent. 

5. I can see that faxes that were sent on the printer, but I can't see that anything has been recieved. 

The printer is working great as a normal printer, but I kind of what to use all the ePrint services.  

Here is the details on the printer.

Did what you suggested. When I followed the steps the screen displayed that there are no software updates available for this product at this time.

I don't know if this will help, but I printed out a Printer Status report and to the right of the Firmware Version the following numbers were listed: (112820).

The FW Patch Version is at 0 right now.

Exact same issue: service on and working, then power cycle, and now I have to start from scratch including associating the printer with ePrintCenter.

Same issue.  Go to Web Services, turn on ePrint.  When I try to fax and select eFax on the home screen, it tells me that I have to turn on ePrint in order to continue.  I select Enable and any inbound faxes are discarded because ePrint is not enabled.  When I look in Web Services, sure enough ePrint is set to "Off."  I set it back on, try eFax again, it tells me to enable ePrint, I do and when I look in Web Services, ePrint is set back to off again.

Can anyone (for example, HP) help with this?
