Hi Snipe,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Are you aware of any changes made to this computer prior to the issue?
   
2. What is the make and model number of your printer?
   
3. When exactly do you face this issue?
   

I suggest you to first Set The Printer As Default and then refer
Change the printer's status to "online" and change the default status to

This way, the printer will be default and the status will be always Online.
