Printing does not work after few days

[jan.kriz1867]

Lately I've been struggling with printers in my office and also home. I installed new drivers (Windows 10, 64 bit) for printer cannon 8080cw (office) and cannon 8280cw (home) (both printers connected wireless to the network) and I had some issues when installing on multiple computers like for example not being detected in the driver software which I solved by simply adding the printer manually. After few days it just stopped working so I uninstalled the drivers and did the same procedure again, but again, after 2 days it just stopped working. Please help me, this is getting really annoying.

Are the printers assigned IP addresses outside of the DHCP range? I've had this kind of issue when dhcp reassigns IP's.

No, IP adresses are assigned just fine.

What I meant was that if they are assigned IP's by DHCP then when the router releases and renews the IP addresses (means they will get new IP's) it is no longer where the PC's think they are and printing fails.
What I do is set dhcp to use 192.168.x.50 thru 192.168.x.100. I manually setup peripherals, like printers & scanners, in the 192.168.x.200 to 250 range so that when dhcp does it's thing the peripherals and pc setups are unaffected.

Now newer printing install software often assigns virtual printing ports to the printer (in the pc) instead of IP's to get around this but it sounded like you went around this when you set them up manually.

Sorry if you knew what i meant. I never know when not to overexplain something.
