    I've never had any luck with Samsung printers. Ditch it and use Brother.

  • If your laptop is running Win7, it's likely the same issue that my laptop had with an HP wireless printer - the symptoms sound the same. You need to use a network-capable Samsung printer driver that negotiates possible changes of the port allocated by Windows whenever the printer goes offline and then becomes available again. In my case, this is called an "HP network rediscovery port monitor". I'd suggest you check your printer installation disk or the Samsung support website to find the necessary driver software.

  • May be also try setting a fixed ip for the printer on the router
