Windows 10: Printer is 'offline' and none of the fixes seem to work.....suggestions?

MY HP printer which is usually reliable is registering 'offline' and none of the troubleshooting fixes seem to work.

The printer is working for another connected device.

Suggestions to get it back 'online'?

Printer not working error Printer is offline

Hi Carolyn,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

• Are you able to access internet in the system?
• Are you able to see printer in devices?

Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Internet connection. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your internet.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Internet Connection troubleshooter and
  Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

Also refer the link below and perform the troubleshooting steps suggested.

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?
