Could Someone Give me Advice for Frequent Printer Connection Issues?

[Elizashahh]

Hello there,

I am experiencing a recurring issue with my HP printer and could really use some help. I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600; which has been a reliable machine for a while. Although, over the past few weeks, I have been facing frequent connection problems.

The printer intermittently disconnects from my Wi-Fi network; leading to a Printer Offline status on my computer.
The problem occurs multiple times a day, disrupting my workflow and causing frustration.

I  have tried restarting both the printer and the router, re-installing the printer drivers; and ensuring that the printer firmware is up to date. Additionally, I have checked the network settings and confirmed that other devices are connecting to the Wi-Fi without issues.

Despite these efforts, the problem persists. I have also noticed that the printer connection issues seem to be more frequent when the network is under heavy use; which makes me wonder if there could be a bandwidth-related problem.

Also, I have gone through this post; https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mobile-Printing-Cloud-Printing/Printer-has-to-be-re-connected-to-minitab-everytime/td-p/6672148 which definitely helped me out a lot.

Are there any additional troubleshooting steps I might have missed?
Could this issue be related to the printers settings or the routers configuration?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and help.
