Two-year old printer. After an hour or two of inactivity, my printers turns itself off. However, it does not power back on when I press the power button. It remains lifeless. I have found that if I unplug the printer (with internal power supply) from the wall outlet, and leave it unplugged for more than 60 seconds, when I plug it back into the wall outlet, it cycles back on and will print anything that may be in the que. This problem only started after I replaced the Black Toner cartridge (for the first time!) The print quality and everything else about the printer is exceptionally good. Just this one recent problem. I ran diagnostics and it checked firmware: said it was up-to-date. Any helpful ideas? Thanks in advance.
