Hey @George5500,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your OJ 6830 does not respond when in sleep mode when you're using the Ethernet connection, but it does not happen when connected via USB.
Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in. Also, even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause.

I look forward to hearing back from you. If performing a hard reset, or moving the printer to a wall outlet resolve the issue, please click the Accept as Solution button below so the community can see your issue is resolved.
