Hi there,
I could use a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting. Specifically what is the model number for the printer? If you have difficulty locating the model number please use one of these guides to get it:

  • How do I turn my printer from 'offline' to 'online' and why does it keep going 'offline'?

    Why does it keep saying my printer is 'offline' and there is no communication between computer and printer? How do I turn it 'online'? There doesn't seem to be an option to do so.
    Thank you.

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer being offline. 
    Try to perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back. Leave it out for 30 seconds and plug it back in. 
    Are you connected USB or wireless?

  • How do I get my HP6840 from offline to online?

    I reinstalled my HP6850 to my Dell Inspiron.  I installed the printer using the online driver from HP.  On the control panel, the printer appears as the default printer but says it is offline.  How do I change it to online?  Thanks.

    Deskjet 6840 -- good printer, had one for years.
    The most likely cause for the printer being offline is due to the firewall or security SW on your Dell interfering with the printer SW.
    First, let's check if the printer is on the network. On the printer, press the button with the check mark -- a report page will come out. Item #3 is the IP address of the printer's internal web page. Tell me what the IP address is and see if you can browse to it.
    If you can, then the Dell and the printer can communcate.
    Next, open the printer folder on the control panel, double click on the 6840 printer icon, then click printer, select properties, then ports. A Standard TCP/IP port should be selected.

  • Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

    When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

    Brad
    What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
    When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

  • How do I get my printer from off-line to on-line?

    I installed my HP Photosmart C4380 on a network computer.  It prints fine from that computer (which runs on XP).  However, when I try to print from another computer, I cannot print because the computer is off-line.  I did not have this problem when I had Windows XP. I was able to select "on-line."   I now have Windows 7 on the computer I am having problems with.

    What driver do you have installed on the Windows 7 machine? Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?
    How is the XP computer connected to the printer - is it via USB or through the network?

  • My itunes account shows i have 1500 plus pictures. how can i get the pictures from this account to my windows computer

    my itunes account shows i have 1500 plus pictures. how can i transfer those to my computer

    If the pictures in question were taken with the device, copy them to the computer as would be done with any other digital camera.
    If the pictures were synced to the device via iTunes, they should already be on the computer.

    How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

  • How do i change from"offline" to "online" printing in Windows 7 for HP photosmart 5514

    how do i change from 'offline' to 'online'

    Under Printer Preferences click on See what's printing. That will open the printer's preferences dialogue box.  Select the Printer tab and then click on online. As long as there is connectivity between your PC and the printer it should then change to online.

  • How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

    I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

    Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.
