Printer is saying offline

I would try restarting the printer, as it is possible that the network address the printer has is now different than the modem

Try deleting the printer icon from the Printers and faxes. Then reinstall the printer drivers

When you double click the Printer and Faxes icon in the Control Panel you will see the printer that your computer is currently using. See.... if the printer image is clear it is online and ready to use, if its blurred then its in offline mode and cannot be use.

To correct offline printer.. some possible reasons is on the usb cable.. check if there is no open wire along the cable...Inserting the USB connector on the other usb slot of the cpu sometimes work just wait first until it is read.

If the printer is still blurred and offline after checking the usb connection, the 2nd thing to do is check the properties of the printer if it is set to offline mode. how? Double click your printer icon. It will display the print jobs window. Click on the Printer tab and uncheck on the "Use printer Offline". Cancel all pending print jobs, close the printer window and try again to print.

Several printers are connected to my Dell and sometimes without paying attention I forget which printer I'm using. On your print set up page scroll down until to your printer and select it. If you have only one printer, then select it as your default printer.

go to start menu select printers and faxes or go to control panel, select printers and faxes, open and select your printer right click and scroll down to use printer offline and click it will work, dont forget to rank me when it works thanks
