I have to reinstall my printer every day in order to print. Imac computer & MFP M283fdw. this has been going on since purchased and I can not figure out how to keep from re installing every day. The computer is restarted every night ( its a business which is why it is so frustrating ) and every morning ... can't print again. I have reset the printing system and reinstalled multiple times, always with the same outcome. I have also reset the printer to factory settings several times and went through the set up process all over again. I have downloaded the driver from the HP website and also used the auto set up prior to downloading the website driver. Also checked printer firmware to make sure it is up to date. The setup is WiFi because we also print from a macbook pro laptop and occasionally print from my android phone but can not print from any device every morning. This is a HUGE inconvenience for the business and I've only had the printer for three weeks.

Hi @backscratcher,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
Excellent description and a great diagnosis. It is greatly appreciated.
As a last resource,
We have to perform an NVRAM reset on the printer to resolve this issue.
- The reset instructions are specific to your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
- I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
- In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage
