My HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 does not stay connected to wireless network

[MrHodges]

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 connected to my wireless network. Whenever the printer goes to sleep, I cannot print anything without first cutting the printer off and restarting the printer. I have updated my drivers and I am still having this problem. I have tried numerous workarounds but I still cannot get the printer to maintain a wireless connection for more than 10-15 minutes.

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

Please download and run the HP Print And Scan Doctor from this Link: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/hppsdr/patches/HPPSdr.exe

Run PSDR v5.0.2 

Once the PSDR detects the Printer, it will show up the IP address and Software Status. 

Select the correct Printer and click on Next. 

PSDR will check if the Printer is on the Network and communication between the PC and the Printer. Once the connection check is done, click on Fix Printing 

Once PSDR goes through all checks and automatic fixes, click on Print a test page. 

Regardless if PSDR printed the test page or not, click on “NO PRINT” 

PSDR will then notify you that there is an update available, click on continue, and PSDR will apply the patch and ask for a reboot. 

Post restart the PSDR will run automatically to check for more issue.  If no issue found close PSDR. 

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you
