  1. Why is my printer offline and how to bring it online?

  2. Printers in Windows 11/10 can be offline or online. That startled me because everyone expects their default printer to be available and ready to print. It is important to understand that when a printer goes down, it does not imply it has been removed. It might fall due to a printing error or a problem with the printer driver. If Windows OS detects a problem, it might set the printer's status to offline. In this post, we'll teach you how to change a printer's status to online or how do I find printer settings on a Mac?

  3. How can I get my offline printer to show up as online again? • Follow each step to guarantee you haven't overlooked anything while converting your printer from offline to online. • Physical Printer and Cable Inspections: Ensure that both ends of the USB cable are securely inserted. If the printer is networked, ensure that the Ethernet connection is properly inserted. Check your internet connection or make sure the printer is linked to your router if it is wireless.

  4. Manually setting the printer to "Online": • Go to the Start button in the lower-left corner of your screen, then select Control Panel, then Devices and Printers. • Select "See what's printed" by right-clicking the printer in question. • Choose "Printer" from the menu that appears when the window opens.

  5. Get Rid of All Pending Print Jobs: • Right-click and "Cancel" any print jobs that appear in the previously stated "See what's printing" menu. • Select "Use Printer Online" once more once the print jobs have been deleted. • If any suborn print jobs remain, restart both your computer and printer.

  6. Taking Out and Reinstalling Your Printer: • Remove the printer by right-clicking it in Devices & Printers and selecting "Remove device." • Select the Add a Printer option from Devices and Printers to re-add the printer.

  7. Another option for getting your printer back online. Take the following steps: • To attempt to connect your printer to the internet. Navigate to "Settings," then "Printers." Select "Use Printer Online" from the printer's context menu. • Check for any open print jobs and clear them. Double-click on the printer you want to use. • Select "Cancel All Documents" from the "Printer Menu." • If there was a printer jam or job, the printer may display an error and go offline. • To get the printer back online, try printing again. To determine if the error has been addressed, print a test page. • Locate the printer and set it to "printer off," then turn it back on. • Examine the printer to check if there is a jam that might cause an error. • Check all network and wireless connections to ensure that they are all operational. Restart the device or computer if necessary.
