Wireless Lan will not awake when print job sent

[Mrbert62]

I have a Laserjet Pro MFP M426fdw printer it works great except the unit will not awakewhen a print job is sent through a wireless network connection. It wil awake when sent through a wired connection. Is there a wake to wake or reset the wireless status without shutting off and turning the printer back on?

Specs on this printer model suggest there is no Wake on Network feature, only via USB:

Power consumption

 
 [17]   583 watts (Print/Copy), 9.1 watts (Ready), 2.7 watts (Sleep), 0.7 watts (Auto-On/Auto-Off, via USB connectivity), 0.1 watts (Shutdown or Off)

You will have to manually boot the printer everytime you want to wake this model while sleeping over a network connection.  Or go back to USB. 

Other work arounds are possible if you want to play around a little.  For example setting up a script to send Ping or another kind of network message to the printer at certain increments to keep the printer from falling into sleep.  The printer likely has a sleep timer feature but likely will not allow you to completely disable it.

Thanks for the response John. The printer works so well for its intended purpose that I'll have to deal with this bump for now.
