My Airprint function works perfectly, for the past few years, from my ipad and iphone, as long as it is used relatively continuously, ever few minutes. AGAIN... It works perfectly... for hours on end.  Then, if it’s not used, for let’s say one hour, even though the printer is still on, it functions in every other way, it’s as if the Airprint function goes to sleep, and I have to unplug the PRINTER, and replug it in, one second later, and then Airprint works again, perfectly, until I stop Airprint again, and I have to plug/replug again. EVERYTHING is up to date, everything has been unplugged/replugged, EVERYTHING works perfectly as long as it is used continuously. I have no issues with WIFI, or any other connectivity, no nertwork issues, and I have no issues with Airprint, as long as I use it continuously... for hours on end.  It is just the printer that is the cause and unplugging/replugging it is the temporary solution. Is the printer just shot and it’s time to buy a new one?  Am I missing something? All my devices, use the same wifi without any problems.  Thank you for your help.
