HP printer not staying connected to unmanaged switch

I have a networked HP printer attached to an unmanaged switch. The switch is connected to a Dell SOHO firewall and that is connected to an Xfinity modem. All other computers, attached to  the switch, have no problem connecting to the network.

 

Since moving said printer from one room to another and from a cheap 5 port dell switch, to a Netgear 24 port switch, I can't keep the HP printer connected to the network. Sleep settings have been turned off and printer still disconnects.

 

Any ideas?
