Printer is Offline

If you've ever screamed that phrase, or muttered it under your breath, then you know how frustrating it can be when your printer stops responding or chronically doesn't work.

When your printer goes offline, you’ll know it because a message will typically pop up on your computer, or it simply won’t work.

The problem usually has to do with your printer’s Wi-Fi or its connection to your computer. All sorts of issues can arise—your PC and printer aren’t communicating or an incorrect setting may have forced your device to appear offline.
