New connectivity issue - HELP!

[TopFliteGraphics]

My printer decided this week it want to be rebooted after each job otherwise the job stalls before starting to print. I have changed nothing in the past week but now if I run a connectivity test on the embedded server platform, I get the attached results. I am able to print one job at a time if I reboot the printer after each job. Talk about slowing things down...

FWIW - Running Flexi and have owned the printer for 6-1/2 years always running flexi.

The configuration is the same as it has always been. Why would it randomly need to be reconfigured?

Maybe your router is messed up, ISP made a change, Amazon cloud went down who knows?

power EVERYTHING OFF
BRING UP MODEM FIRST
then router
then printer & then pc

hopefully it all recovers without any changes

ISP changed subnet of enabled IPV6 & f**ked up IPV4
router decided on it's own to change ip?
i am a network consultant (40 years) and can give you a 3 page list of things that change ALL BY THEMSELVES FOR NO REASON
or it wouldn't be worth being a network consultant

Tried this. Looks the same when I run the connectivity test. Will see if it stalls out printing still.

Try going into the printer’s network settings and change the DNS address to 8.8.8.8. That forces the printer to bypass your router’s DNS relay and use Google’s DNS servers directly. Sometimes, a router firmware or security update changes how DNS requests are handled, and older devices like printers stop resolving names correctly until you point them to an external DNS server.

what are the ip's of both devices?
pc & printer

in advanced network properties on the pc are network discovery and file and print sharing checked?

microsoft likes to play with us changing settings with windows updates

 

[netsol]

is there anything in error logs for the printer?
my HP T1700dr needed a firmware update, to stop a sort of similar thing.

post those ip's and we can do a bit of testing

it may be at end of the first job the printer is not returning to "ready to print" state
