Printer connection not connected It says printer offline ?

Hi Having a problem with my printer  It says your printer is not connected  You are offline  I have tried  Printer and where it says Work Offline I have deselected this  When that didnt work I have downloaded a fresh Driver to make sure it was up to date  Still no joy  Any ideas?

Im not a specialist but I've delt with a fair number of printers... I'll give you a checklist of things to do. Hopefully one of them works.
restart your printer
if no success, turn off, un-plug for 10 seconds, re-plug, turn on. When turning on, hold the power button, don't just press it
turn off and restart your WiFi
Restart your computer
Locate closer to your router & printer
Uninstall your printer software - don't delete it, go to the HP printer website or whatever, and download the uninstall software. Then redownload it
Best of luck!

  • Printer 'offline' when actually not on wireless connection laptop

    I have an Officejet Pro L7590, connected via a wired connection to my Linksys router.
    My laptop runs Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium and is wireless connected to my router.
    When I double-click the printer in 'Devices and Printers'. It shows 'printer offline'
    When I print a document it goes to the queue, but doesn't printer.
    I have already tried the following:
    . re-install the printer
    . install the printer as local printer, with as port the IP address of the printer
    . install the printer as networkprinter
    . run the Diagnostic tools provided by HP
    But still the same problem.
    When I connect my laptop via a wired connection to my router (without changing anything to me printer settings) the printer is 'online' and works fine.
    How can I make the printer work when my laptop has a wireless connection?

    Hi there,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

    I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

    You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off!  Thank you dwb!

  • Printer offline when connected to Time Capsule

    I moved my HP All-In-One C4580 from my office to my home. At home, I use my Time Capsule as my primary wireless router.
    I have followed every step that HP tells me, in terms of removing and reinstalling the software, and still, the only way I can print is to have the printer connected directly to my MacBookPro via a USB cable. I was expecting to be able to use it either wirelessly, like it says it is supposed to be capable of, or with it wired to my Time Capsule via USB. The last piece of advice I got from tech support at HP was this:
    "I recommend you to open the EWS Page of your router and check the MAC filtering option. I would request you to contact Apple for the assistance on the same. The printer works after connecting to Mac using USB cable and the message 'Printer offline' appears after connecting to the Apple Time capsule base station."
    I cannot figure out what the EWS page is, or how I would get to it.

    Thanks LaPastenaue.
    I ran the network utility but only the macbook had a .local suffix.  I'm struggling to understand the info from Netstat to be honest and obviously I'm not keen on sharing my network data with the rest of the interweb.
    I did try moving the TC into the same room as the HH5.  I moved all the connections from the HH and plugged them into the gigabit ethernet ports on the TC and ran one Cat6 from the TC WAN port into the HH, using it as a modem only.  This was not the setup I was hoping for as I am running out of room for kit, but annoyingly, this does give me a solid AirPlay connection on all my devices when on the TC network.
    I did a comparison on each setup with netstat and I see that in the first 'Internet' table that the TC is not mentioned in the old setup(TC in separate room) but is listed in the 'Internet' table when I have it plugged up as above.
    It seems that whenever I have the music streamer plugged in to the TC directly I get AirPlay but if it daisy chained through the HH ethernet hub I get an intermittant and flaky AirPlay connection.
    Any more thoughts?

  • My office jet pro l7590, prints from network router. one pc can connect but it remains "offline"

    OJ Pro L7590.  Connected to my network via router.  All Win 7 PC's.  One laptop connected wirelessly.  Constantly shows Printer Offline.
    I'm able to access the printer's web server from this PC.  (on the network)  It shows up as "ready" on the Device Information tab.  However from the PC's printers menu, it is showing up as offline.  When I go throught the HP Officejet Pro AiO "add a device" menu, it fails to connect in the very last step.  This has been extremely frustrating.
    It obviously "sees" the printer on the network.  Windows connect a printer will work, but yields same result.  Have latest full feature driver/software download.
    Print Doctor does not see any problem.  truly baffled.  Wife's PC and she is the heaviest print user in the house.  Son's apple Mac book printed wirelessly with no effort.  (I'm not even sure he did anything special to make it work.)

    Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.
    Go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Uninstall. Run it.
    Restart your PC.
    Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • C6180 printer offline even though it's connected to the network.

    My c6180 printer won't connect with my computer. I went through the network settings on the printer itself and the settings on the printer itself show that it's connected to my router.  But when I try to send a document to the printer, my computer shows that the printer is offline. How do I get it back online?

    I would take a look at the document below it should help resolve your issue.

    My macbook pro with OS 10.6.7 'mail' program does not send my mail through the IPS wireless, I am connected to. The message is my 'e-mail is rejected by the server'. It has been working until 5 days ago. The connection doctor says I am connected and no log in required.
    After trying lots I found now in 'Airport Utility is 'unable to detect any airport wireless devises.....'
    There is no provider to be seen in airport utility and only 'rescan' is an option with no results...
    even so I am connected and can browse the net receive mail etc. and the outgoing 'mail server' is set to the internet provider I am connected to.
    Can you enlighten me what can I do I need to use my e-mail program urgently !!!
    Thanks for your help

    I'm not sure what "IPS wireless" is, but unless you have an Apple Wi-Fi base station (such as a Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express), AirPort Utility won't see anything.
    You might try defining a new SMTP server to see if that will work any better.

  • HT201412 Restore did not work.The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes.When connected, it says that it is locked! After Recovery/Restore completed, device still malfunctions. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen.Device types on its

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

  • Facetime is not working. it says network connection is not on.  but i see the icon for wifi

    Facetime is not working. . The comment box says to check the network connection. But my wifi is on. So don't understand why facetime is not working

    If it says CHECK NETWORK CONNECTION, it means you are not connected to wifi or NO SIGNAL IS BEING PICK UP BY YOU IPHONE 4S. Another possible solution is re-set your wifi router by pulling out the power cord from wifi router for about 20 seconds and put it back on wait for about 1-2 minutes cuz some wifi router takes time to re-set.

    Getting connected to a mifi the first time was goofy for me as well.  The message you are getting means you have not satisfied the security on the my yet.
    On mine, when I set it up, I had to declare a password.  But it never recognized that password for connecting devices.  Turns out the password was only used for changing system settings.   When connecting a device what it really wanted was the device code, similar to a router key- not your password.   So look through the paperwork and find the key, and try that.
    I think you mean novatel, who make a number of mifi units.
