Windows 10: I have the same problem as others. Printer is showing as "offline" on a daily basis!!!!

How can I fix this persistent issue!!!! I try all the suggestions everytime and nothing works. I have to uninstall and reinstall everyday. This is getting very annoying. How can I permanently resolve this problem??? I have an HP 9025 Office Jet, connected via Wireless.

I am about DONE with windows based computers and HP printers!!! This is ridiculous!!!

Networked Printer showing "Offline"

Hey guys,

I'm having a slight issue with one of my printers in that it's showing offline and I can't print to it.

It's a Datamax label printer which is connected to my network via a Netgear print server, this has then be added to one of my servers for sharing etc.

So far I've tried the below.

- Classic on/off.
- Removing from server and re-adding.
- Ensuring that under port configuration SNMP Status is disabled.
- Assigning to different IP.
- Restarting Print Spooler.

I can ping it fine and the printer itself is letting me do manual test prints using its interface, but no matter what I cannot get it to stop showing up as offline and allowing me to print to it over the network. I should add that it's worked fine for the past year.

Any suggestions?
