If anybody has issues with your printers wireless connection constantly dropping. Try setting a static IP address for the printers wifi connection. I've fixed 3 wireless printers by doing this. My wife's work bought her a new wireless laser printer 2 years ago. Thing would lose its ip address every time it went into sleep mode, and it would only reacquire an IP address about half the time. Changed it to a static IP address, and now it always just works.
