local port to that IP. This avoids any DNS issues with network printers not registering themselves properly.

This requires the DNS server to register that hostname to that IP each time the printer boots or reconnects. If the printer's IP address changes (via DHCP) but your workstation is still caching the old value, the printer will appear to be off-line. Assuming DNS is actually OK you can fix that problem at your workstation by manually issuing

This one would actually be the one next to me. It is only used by me. The IP address is static. This is wireless.
It is not always online, so that may explains. I usually only start it up to print, which is something I don't do much during these days.
As I do not use this OneNote for printing purposes, I will try to see if I can remove it. I am not sure if this is possible, however, as I need OneNote to remain as a software installed.
If this is linked together, I will just pay more attention to that.
Thanks, as usual, a very detailed technical reply, very appreciated
