If the can browse the printer's web page, then we know that the printer is on the network. The next step is to try to try a simple print-only test. Go to System Preferences then access the Print & Fax applet. Press the + button to add a printer and you should be presented with a list of all the printers on your network. Select the C4580 / Bonjour and for "Print Using" select the HP Photosmart P1100 - Gutenprint v5.1.3 and press "Add". Now check and see if you can print to the printer.

I had this issue and realized that I had printed with a different(offline) printer selected.  Deleted that doc from queue.  print to online printer.  printed.

this happens to my OfficeJet Pro 8500 all the time; a new expensive printer; very maddening; my only solution is to turn the printer off and on and let it reboot and clean the ink cartridges; this takes time and wastes ink of course; I know of no other solution; and I've searched for one.

Hey!

You can try to add the printer icon again. As suggested by most of them.

Go to print & fax

Press and hold control key and click on the printer icon. It will give you option for reset printing system.

Click on that.

NOTE: It will remove all the printer icon on the print & fax window.

Now, once the printer icons are deleted.

Click on  + sign. It will list your printer.

It will take a while.

it will list the printer with kind as bonjour.

Select it and click on add.

If incase it not list your printer.

You can click on + sign again.

Click on IP tab.

There select protocol as "HP jet direct"

Address as printer IP address

Queue name empty

Print using "select printer driver"

click on add.

Make sure printer is default. Hit and print.

Hi,

Go to system settings and select the ‘Printer’ option.

Right-click on the printer and enable the ‘Use Printer Online’ function.

Cancel all the printing jobs till that moment and redo the process.

Sometimes the ‘Printer Offline’ message occurs due to a ‘Job Stuck’ issue.

Check all network connections and functions.

Be sure the network interfaces work properly.

Turn the printer off and on to see whether the device is working properly.
