My printer goes to sleep after 15 minutes and never wakes up.  I would like to reinstall firmware and see if this fixes my problems.

Thank you for being a part of HP Forums. 

It'll be an honor to guide you through the steps needed to fix your concern or address your query 😉 

 

As I understand the printer goes to sleep after every 15 mins, however, doesn't wake up,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

  • Have you changed the sleep settings using the instructions on the user guide?
    • If not, Click here to access the same and get it done.

While you respond to that, here's what you need to do,

To get the firmware upgraded as that should resolve the issue:

 

HP regularly releases new printer firmware versions with product enhancements or issue fixes. Depending on your printer, apps on the printer control panel might also receive updates. Update firmware and apps on a regular basis to make sure you are getting the most out of your printer.

 

Use one of the following methods to upgrade the firmware. If one method does not work, try the other.

  • Update directly from the printer
  • Download firmware updates from the HP website

FOR DETAILS & FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, USE THIS LINK: CLICK HERE

(By the end of this article all the issues should be resolved)

 

Keep me posted,

For I (Or a trusted colleague) shall follow-up on this case to ensure the concern has been addressed, 

And your device is up and running again, 

that said, If the information I've provided was helpful,

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.

I tried the Semi-Reset and it is working so far.  The problem has not returned.

 

I will let you know it it returns.  I found a You tube video that really helped.

 

Blessings,
