My Hp Officejet 6500a Plus Keeps Locking Up

My HP Officejet 6500A Plus keeps “locking”. When my printer sits for a period of time (like overnight or at least several hours) and I send something to print, it won’t print. In fact the whole thing seems LOCKED. The touch screen won’t respond, nothing. I have to pull out the power then plug it back it, and then it prints and the touch screen is responsive. I’ve tried turning off the “sleep mode” or whatever HP calls it and it’s the same.

Printer Disconnected

The computer cannot communicate with the printer because one of the following events has occurred:

• The printer has been turned off.

• The cable connecting the printer - such as a USB cable or a network (Ethernet) cable - has been disconnected.

• If the printer is connected to a wireless network, the wireless connection has been broken.

To solve this problem, try the following solutions:

• Make sure the product is turned on and that the (Power) light is on.

• Make sure the power cord and other cables are working and are firmly connected to the printer.

• Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to a functioning, alternating current (AC) power outlet.

• If the product is connected to a network, make sure the network is functioning properly. For more information, see Solve wired (Ethernet) network problems.

• If the product is connected to a wireless network, make sure the wireless network is functioning properly.
