my printer will randomly turn on (light up) in the middle of the night. How do I stop this

my printer will light up in the middle of the night.  It is in my bedroom and it is disturbing.  What can I do to get it to not turn on other than shut it down each night.

@csteer, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Make sure the printer is connected to a secure network.

Let us try these steps:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
