An offline printer problem is typically caused when the computer fails to communicate with the printer because of a connection or system glitch. To fix an offline printer, restarting the printer and computer will be the fastest solution to this – as this will clear up temporary errors. Then, ensure that the printer is connected to Wi-Fi or a cable. It's also a good idea to check your printer settings on your system and make sure that the “Use Printer Offline” box isn't ticked. It's also recommended to remove the stuck print jobs from the print queue to restore normal operations. In most cases, these few steps solve the problem in minutes, since the problem is not usually hardware-related and is often due to minor communication failures.
