Go into your printers, right click on the printer, then select "Use Printer Offline" to uncheck it.

Computers are like air conditioners – as soon as you open windows they stop working.

Suddenly my HP3050A status has changed to offline.  However, the online specs indicate the device is "ready."  How do I get the printer back online?

 

Thanks, DLR

I don't see "Use Printer Off Line" -- I have HP Deskjet 3050 Series J610 and using Window 10.  My printer stopped working after I automatically got the last update on 4/12/207.  When I right-click on my printer is just says that it is set as the default printer.  Help!
