Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw Printer

Following up on some similar posts.  

My MFP4301fdw was working flawlessly connected to a static wifi connection UNTIL I decided to routinely power it down.  After doing so, it became erratic when up.  I used a continual ping to watch the changes where i would continually time out and have times of over 1024ms.  Very erratic pings. 

I tried disabling IPV6

I enabled sleep mode to the max on time (60 minutes)

I even power cycled the router (I have a wifi6 router with about 35 devices on average as I have two home busineses and quite a few devices as a result)

I reset the network settings (did a network system restore)

 

So far here is what is working:   I disabled bluetooth low energy and enabled LPD printing.

Still under observation and I will report back but the ping times are MUCH better with  pings no higher than 206ms and lowest 3 ms.

Update:  the existing HP driver was showing offline still about 3 hours later so I removed it in devices and printers and did add a printer using the static ip address assigned.  Windows drivers found it and it shows online.  I will update once more time transpires.
