    Wireless network printer shows "Ready" status in print applications but the printer is turned off

    Hi Gary,

    What is happening now between your PC and printer is a communication issue. Based on what you've stated, you already updated the printer driver, yet the same thing is happening. So, if that the case, then it could be that it wasn't updated correctly. So,
    in order correct this issue on both of your devices, we suggest that you reconfigure the printer setup. Follow these steps:

    • If your printer is connected through USB cord, disconnect it from both ends.
    • Go to Settings, select Devices, then click
      Devices and printers
      under Related settings.
    • Remove the printer from the Devices and printers.
    • Next, go to Control Panel, click Uninstall a program, then uninstall the printer driver.
    • After that, restart your computer.
    • Download and install the latest printer driver from the manufacturer's website.
    • Follow the printer setup on the installation process. You can select Wireless or USB connection, and after that connect your printer to your PC.
    • Restart your PC after the printer setup.
    • Lastly, check the printer status.

    If it's the same after performing the recommended steps, then we suggest that you contact the printer manufacturer for further assistance.

    Let us know if this rectifies the issue your printer.
