  1. Networked Printers “Offline”


    So we have networked Brother laser printers and HP inkjet a. Never had a problem with them, until we switched to Win10. Now the printers just go “offline” when they feel like it.

    Sometimes the ports have switched to WSD. Other times the ports are fine and we restart a few times and the printers just start working again.

    Does anyone have a direction they can point me in to stop this madness? With 200 people to support, running around and fixing these printers is killing me.

    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?

    Printer appears offline for one pc in the network?

    when you click add network printer are you adding it from a diff PC?


    for example.


    when i add my 3 printers it will look like this (example)


    Add Network printer

    epson on theresa-laptop (some IP)

    epson on main-frame (some ip)

    epson on solaris-desktop (some ip)

    epson (some IP)

    that just an example. but you dont want to add it from a pc for example "epson on solaris-desktop (some ip)" you want to add it from "epson (some IP)" because if you add it from another system if that system is offline the printer wont be availible. If the printer does not have networking capabilities of its own..meaning that you wont have a printer on its own IP you need to make sure w/e PC the printer is hooked upto is on all the time

    Printer appears offline for one pc in the network?

    Network was just fine before we quit for the holidays.
    Now printer works on 3 out of 4 computers (2 running XP and 2 running 7).
    For the main pc (the one which I use most) the printer appears offline.
    It doesn't appear so on the other pc's. *Confused Networked Printers “Offline” :confused:
