The issue is with your router. Without knowing anything else about your network equipment I can tell you the following.
The lease on the network address for the printer keeps expiring or another machine on your home network keeps taking the address while the printer is still leasing it.
The solution is to access your router's configuration page and basically reserve a network address for the printer.
That way when the lease for the printer's address is up, the router will just re-assign that address to it. Your computers also won't need to re-install the printer either because it will always have that network address.
As for another machine taking the address, you'll want to make sure that all the computers that connect to your network are set to dynamic (DHCP) network addressing. That should keep your printer online for a good while.
