I purchased a Brother HL-2070 laser printer a few years ago and it worked well for us. It was the first laser printer we had and it allowed us to easily print when we wanted, with no dried out ink cartridges. That's something we have been frustrated with for years.
I hooked this up to my computer, and that worked great for a year, until I moved my computer. All of a sudden we needed to put this thing on the network. So I must have configured it to work on our network, but I never assigned it a static IP. As a result whenever our router or the printer rebooted, it would get a new IP.
Well, not always, but enough that I used to have 4 or 5 printers on each computer, one for each IP. Last week when I replaced our router, I had my computer on the desk with the printer, and decided to reconfigure it for a static IP.
I found this forum post, which was for Linux, but I figured it would work for Windows, and it does. And I didn't even need the USB cable. I connected to the printer from a browser, set a static IP, and it's been working fine for a week like that.
Hopefully that will be the end of our printer issues.

maybe the service of pdf recovering better suits your needs? I have recently tested several data recovery applications and I think it is the easiest one
