One other thought that might explain the mystery is if you have network balancing and several DHCP servers.  Could one of the DHCP servers be maintaining the address, so allowing the network connectivity via the printer web access?  With the other server dropping the DHCP lease.

 

Visually are you seeing the drop on one but the DHCP remains on the other server?

 

The last part of the puzzle is the printer dropping its name.  Have you set the name manually at the printer itself or used the printer's web interface to set the name? Does one way versus the other make a difference in terms of the printer remembering its name?

 

I don't think dropping the DHCP lease would have any effect on the printer's name for we set it via the printer control panel and its has always remained despite the router dropping the DHCP address.
