Windows 10: My HP Printer Currently is Offline, How to get it back Online?

Hello,

What does it mean when my HP Printer is showing offline?

How do I get My Printer Online?

HP Printer Offline- Printers often face an offline error when a hardliner connection to the computer is holding the document. The printer itself doesn’t have a hard-drive, which is why it needs a means of communication with the PC so that it can read and transfer further for the print function.

Method that works for HP Printer Offline

STEP 1- First, turn on your computer to which the HP Printer is connected. The printer can be left off at this step.

STEP 2- Once Your Computer is active, click on the start menu

STEP 3- Further, click ‘Devices and Printers’

STEP 4- Then, click on the icon for the HP Printer which you use.

STEP 5- Once you see the status being shown as ‘Offline’, click on it.

STEP 6- Click the ‘printer’ option on the pop-up window. Finally, unchecked on the ‘Use Printer Offline’ option.

Now any items that went left in the print queue of the HP Printer will start printing.

This is an assured solution. However, if for any reason it fails to resolve the error, get expert assistance by contacting technicians.

HP Printer offline

I have recently purchased a new PC and although the printer I have (HP Photosmart 5520) is connected and has printed once or twice it keeps going offline. I have tried the usual suggested fixes such as running the print spooling and checked to see if the
'use printer offline' button was checked but to no avail. The wireless connection says its connected. Tried the turning off / back on method as well. Windows printer trouble shoot said printer was switched off which is rubbish as its on. Help
