Printers lose connection to Universal Printer Server

We have 6 new Canon printers MF751dw that are directly connected to Universal Print service.  If there is ever a network outage or disconnection anywhere the printers lose connectivity and do not reconnect to UP.  They are connected to the network as I can access the printer configuration web page. We have to power cycle the printers to reconnect them to UP.  I easily duplicate this problem by unplugging the ethernet from a printer then plugging it back in.  The network connection is ok however, it does not reconnect to UP and they only way to reconnect it is to power cycle the printer.  It happens on every printer that we have connected to UP.  Is there a way to change this behavior?
