Hi, After reboot the printer, all devices in the network can detect the printer and print on it. But after a few minutes, the printer is like it's off, but it's obviously on.
I can connect to local web page of the printer, but it's offline for my Mac and it's not possible to discover it from my iPhone.
Router see printer as an attached device in any moment.
I'm going to put a static IP as you commented and I will publish my results.
Best Regards,

Hopefully doing a reserved IP address helps.
I'm not very versed in iOS or Airprint stuff - being a Windows based guy. I have read a bit on Airprint and understand it can have issues with networks sometimes.
Other things to think about - especially with the 960 series and how it CAN be set up. Not sure if you are using the IoT network for the printer and regular network for your PCs/Phones/Tablets (or some combination). I read that Airprint wants you to be on the same network as the printer. Whether that actually means same SSID or just the same network IP ranges - I do not know personally. But that's another thing to think about.
If the reserved address thing doesn't work - we may need to delve a bit more on HOW you have your network and device connections set up.
We've got a pretty versed group of folks here on the community! I'm sure we'll figure out the right combination!
