Running LL 4.6, printer is a Samsung network printer, model ProXpress M4070FR,
and is connected to my router via ethernet cable.
When I first got the printer, I powered it up and connected the ethernet cable.
Then I started the computer and the printer automatically installed, and worked fine.
No problems with the printer for some time, but recently (may be when I upgraded
to LL 4.6) the printer keeps uninstalling itself when I turn it off.
I usually keep the printer powered off because I don't use it that much,
so I really have no idea how long ago the problem started.
But before this problem, every time I started the computer (with the printer off),
the printer was still installed.
But now, whenever I start the computer (with the printer off), there is no printer
installed. If I then power up the printer, there is still no printer installed)
But if I reboot the computer with the printer powered up, the printer again
automatically installs itself.
I have never had a printer that, once installed, uninstalled itself.
This may have nothing to do with a LL update or any other update,
but I'm stymied as to what to try next.
Any suggestions ?
