Product: HP OfficeJet 4650 All-in-One Printer series
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a:

 

1. Officejet 4650

2. Asus Router RT-AC3100

 

My printer shows connected to the router at all times.  I have assigned a static IP to the printer. Anytime I press the status button it shows connected to the HP webserver.  I have tried printing from my laptop, Ipad, and Iphone.  All work fine.  then the printer goes to sleep, and once it goes to sleep it seems to disconnect, or is not seen despite the status showing connected when I wake it up. Then trying to find it on any of the devices can best be described as hit and miss.  I also then try logging into the printer from a web browser using the static ip and that does not work.  If I connect to the wifi network of the direct connect on the HP printer it does work fine. Hence, this tell me that the issue maybe opening ports, or??? Obviously it is not practical to have all devices in the house connect to the printer wifi. Any thought on if i need to open ports, or ???

 

Will I need to manually wake the printer everytime I want to print, and then hope it is recognized?

Help!
