Color Laser Printer Sometimes Is Offline

[caxtin]

Windows 11 Pro 64Bit   /   HP LaserJet 5200tn   /  HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw

My HP LaserJet 5200tn is always On Line.

However, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw, sometimes is offline. Should I set it to a static address  in my network?

This printer is network connection only, and comes back on when I disconnect it from the power and back.

What would be the best solution for this.

Cheers
