If your HP printer is indicating offline status, it can’t communicate with your PC or laptop. Since the printer must be online to print, you need to change the printer from offline to online.
If you want to fix the offline issue with your HP printer, you need to perform certain tasks. We are explaining to you some troubleshooting steps that can help with “How to Fix Printer Offline Problems” or “HP Printer Not Responding” issues. Let us discuss them below.
There are five solutions through which you can instantly fix the “Printer Offline” issue with your HP printer on your own. However, if you feel it is difficult to carry out independently, you can contact the 123 com setup team to fix it on your behalf.
"Printer is Offline" is an indication that there is some communication problem between your computer and your printer. The reason could be a network problem or that the printer is not connected properly via USB cable.
If you have connected your HP printer via USB cable to the computer, then make sure the cable to your printer is well connected and that it has a working USB port.
And if your printer is connected via a wired network, ensure the cable is well connected to the Ethernet port and the router is working well. Also, check if the network signal on your printer is flashing. Always remember that if your printer is showing offline, it means that the cable might be loose, too old, or broken somewhere. You should replace them at the earliest.
Additionally, if your HP printer is connected to a computer via a wireless network, ensure that your printer is connected to your PC network properly and that the light on the wireless icon on your printer is lit up, which indicates that you’re connected.
If your printer connection is not causing any issues, then you should try restarting your device, as sometimes power-cycling your printer might solve the problem in most cases.
