Windows 7 Canon printer disconnecting from the network

[helen99]

I just changed my DLS modem and my network printer stopped working correctly, its a canon image runner 2010 and it has a static IP. I turn on the computers and the printer it will work for 2 to 3hours and then it will start to drop the network connection, all my computers have static IP addresses

Maybe a bad new modem especially if it was working OK prior to the change. Sometimes even new can have faults.

Do you have a particular reason for using static IP's? You may find you are suffering from some addressing conflicts - I would use DHCP unless there is some over-riding reason not to. If you must then check out the range of static addresses you are using and configure the router to ensure that there is no overlap between DHCP reservations and static assigned addresses.
