My HP9800 printer worked fine for the first months on the Nighthawk AC1900 via the USB port. Then it started to give me headacke... First it would (somtimes) only print the last page of a printjob. And now for the last few months the printer keeps going into sleep mode. Sometimes i can wake it up via the Netgear USB Control Center, or restarting everything, but most of the time i have to delete and reinstall the printer from my laptop, witch runs Win7. I have updated firmware and drivers on all my devices. Is this a known problem and has someone found a solution?

In my case, resetting the r7000 fixed the bojour print problem. I'm able to print again from mac, windows, other unix systems. even while re-configuration by hand did take some time as I don't tried to safe the config prior to reseting and restoring the settings with the backuped settings file (i guessed that this will not work).

I suspect that the problem(s) came after updating the Nighthawk R7000 router, so maybe Netgear would be so kind to try to fix this bug.
I say this because the setup with the printer attatch via the routers USB port worked fine for several months before not being able to wakeup or reattatch to the printer automaticly whenever i send a printjob to the printer

    Hi All,
    
    If you have not tried to reset the router to factory default after the update, please try it and manually reconfigure.
