HP Envy 4520 printer needs constant power reset

[aja79]

On a daily basis, my printer (HP Envy 4520) loses its Wi-Fi connection to my computer (Dell Inspiron 3910 running Windows 11). I have to unplug my printer, plug it back in, and that solves the issue. I also use HP Instant Ink, which also loses its communication with the computer when this happens. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Hi @aja79,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing an issue with your printer that gets disconnected from the network intermittently.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.
