Printer won't let me get it online

My printer shows it's offline. When I go to control panel-printer -right click the printer icon-click run as administrator it only shows "use printer offline". It does not show the  "use printer online" option. How can we solve this problem?

Re: Printer won't let me get it online

How is your printer connected - USB, ethernet or wireless?

What model is your printer?

I have a deskjet 3650 and a wireless network but the printer is connected to a PC with a USB cable. It worked fine up until three days ago.

Re: Printer won't let me get it online

Just click where it says "Use Printer Offline" the checkmark should go away, and your computer should show the printer as "Online"

While I am an HP employee, I am not a expert on all our products. If I offer advice, I'm not speaking for HP on how to solve an issue, but I'll do my personal best to help you.

I switched the check box to put the printer online but it still indicates that it is off line.  How do I get it to print documents on my ccomputer?

Hi,

 

You can try this, right click on the printer Icon, find " Printer properties" -> "Port" -> "Add port", configure the printer port appropriately and see if the printer is online or not.

Re: Printer won't let me get it online

I have a HP photosmart 2700.   I have used it for several years.  Now suddenly when I want to print it says the printer in not on line -- and I cannot find any way to get it on line.
