My printer says it set to work off line I don't know how to change it

how do I change my printer from off line to on line

Hi oldgranny1,
Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you are unable to print because your HP printer is showing as offline. 
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have? Guide to finding your product number
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
What operating system are you using (Windows 7, Mac 10.8, or Windows 8, etc)?
Are you getting any other error messages other than the printer is offline? If yes, what is the error message and where is it displayed (computer or printer)?
What program are you trying to print from (Microsoft Word, Notepad, web browser, etc)?
Thank you.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • My phone has no more storage but it says i have 5gb on icloud but i don't know how to use them.

    My phone has no more storage but it says i have 5gb on icloud but i don't know how to use them.

    iCloud storage doesn't affect the available storage on your device.  It's for backing up your device and syncing your data, so you can recover the data if needed.
    You probably need to import photos/videos to your computer or another destination (like a photo kiosk & burn CDs), and then delete them from your device.  Or, delete some unused apps from your device.

  • I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ?

    I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ? I was very naive in choosing the "cream" colored one and now it doesn't look so neat ... Any ideas ?

    Please disregard my question - just found the answer elsewhere on this page :-)

    my iphone offers no "SEND" button when I'm reading regular inbound email and I want to respond or forward...something got switched off and I don't know how to fix it...

    Close out of the mail app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your email again.

    YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
    Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that.

  • When Firefox updated, my dad could no longer use the browser as it kept saying that is it working off line and to uncheck that option. Where do we find the option to uncheck?

    My 82 year old dad downloaded your latest update and he installed it. He used default installation as he does not know how to do custom. When he started up Firefox, it came up with the dialogue that Firefox is off line and that he was suppose to uncheck work off line Box. i looked through my Firefox and I cannot figure out where that box is. He is 150 miles away from me so I can't really look at his computer.

    Use "Alt" key to show menu bar temporarily the on the File menu uncheck "work offline".
    You don't always get a message that tells you that you are off-line so even though I hardly ever need it I do install the following because of it's connected/disconnected icons
    * '''Work Offline''' :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/work-offline/

  • I need a different version of Firefox for work. 4.0 isn't working correctly with my work program and I don't know how to download an older version.

  • Key snapped off and I don't know how to put it back on!

    I noticed my left key was hard to press so I snapped it off knowing other computers can snap them back on.
    I got the gunk out but the key won't go back on. What do I do?

    Hi,
    It's a bit tricky and I don't know how to describe it, put it's possible..
    It's not only to press it on its place again, you have to move it a bit from above
    Even trickier are the big keys ( I needed half an hour to do it with the Backspace-Key )
    They have some fragile mechanics on the downside, which you have to explore to find
    a way to put them on the keyboard again.
    When I have some crumbs below the keys now, I first try to blow them away with a blade of straw.
    Good Luck !

    I'm trying to renew Kaspersky anti virus program. it keeps telling me that it can't because my internet explorer is set to off line, I checked and work offline is NOT checked,
    Is the problem because I've brought in mozilla firefox and kaspersky is not reading this? if so, how do I renew Kaspersky without eliminating Firefox??

    I am attempting to download an update for Firefox - when attempting to open it tells me to go to File/getinfo and when I look at sharing and Permissions there are three entries, me, staff and everyone - me is Read/write, the others are read only and there is a note that says I have suxtom access but still cannot drag to applications -
    how do I unlock this process

    Hello mbennjr, if you have problem with update or permissions firefox the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • Internet connection not working: don't know how to change network settings

    I have a Macbook Pro with an internet connection that normally works fine. However, in my apartment, we are provided with a cable modem that has only one ethernet cable hook-up. Since we needed atleast two ethernet connections for two computers, we bought a switch that we hooked into the cable modem to give us extra ethernet ports.
    Recently, while hooking up my ethernet cord to the switch, I have not been able to connect to the internet. Network Diagnostics tells me my Built-in Ethernet is working correctly, but Network Settings are at yellow, and my ISP, Internet and Server have all failed. I have followed all instructions to check my connections, and restart the modem, switch and computer many, many times but there is no problem with any of these things. The other computer connects fine on the switch and cable modem.
    Additionally, under Network in System Preferences, I am being shown that there is an IP address and Subnet mask, so I am assuming there is nothing wrong with the cord, modem or switch (which work fine on the other computer), but there is no Router number, which seems odd. If it helps narrow things down, I am also trying to connect to the internet via DHCP rather than PPPoE, which is what I normally use.
    I am guessing I must have accidentally changed something to do with my network settings and it is not adapting to the cable modem any longer. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this, nor what to change it to if I had to. My landlady knows nothing about what kind of network settings I need to connect to the internet service provider. Other than calling Time Warner Cable (who provides the cable modem with ethernet hook-up)is there anything else I can do or should be considering in order to get my internet connection working?

  • My iPhone is connected to my computer. But my iCloud is saying I need to log in as my ex boyfriend. I don't know how to change it. It's a brand new phone. So I'm confused.

    i Had an iPhone a couple of years ago. I was with my ex boyfriend. And I have recently got an iPhone 5s. Every so often it asks me to log in as my ex boyfrien. An my find my iPhone is saying it is connected to his email address. But I cant change it because I don't know his paasowrd. Can anyone help me please

    If you can't contact him, you can't remove it from his account. UNLESS you have proof that you were the original buyer. Then Apple will remove it for you.
