Onyx can see the printer IP address in the settings, IP address Found. Printer can connect to internet/network

No changes/updates to the computer.


Restarted everything, PC, Printer, Router, Switch same result

Any ideas on how to get resolved?

Problem Solver
Reinstall the printer to Onyx. If that doesn't solve it, try repair install of onyx. Last resort remove the whole thing and install from scratch.

Sometimes you can get away by duplicating the printer and disabling the first one.

file do get corrupted, (especially the ones that are constantly in use)

if you want a guess, check your interfaces (ethernet, wifi, usb and make sure windows update hasn't added the check mark back for
"allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
