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

  • 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?

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.

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.

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.
