Failed Printing

[mamalow]

I just recently had an update to my computer and now I cannot print.  The printer shows that I am connected to the same network as my computer.  When I try to print the error message says that the printer is offline but I know that it is connected and turned on.

Hi @mamalow,

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you. 🙂 I reviewed the post regarding the printer going offline after a windows 10 update. I will be glad to assist you here. 🙂

You are a valued HP customer and it is paramount to assist you with it. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you.:) Terrific description and superb diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂

For better clarity, I would require more information regarding this.

• Did you try to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers?
• Did you assign a static IP address to the printer?
• Is it a wireless printer?

Please run print scan doctor and check if it gets fixed.

Please perform all the other prescribed steps from this link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-deskjet-3700-all-in-one-printer-series/8954253/model/1126203... for printer offline issues one at a time till the issue gets resolved.

If the issue persists, then please uninstall the printer drivers by following these steps:

• In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
• Select your HP printer.
• Select Uninstall.
• In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
• In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
• Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
• Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
• Click on Drivers tab.
• Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
• Select OK.
• Remove all instances of the same.
• Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.
• Close Devices and Printers. 

Then reinstall the full feature software from this link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-deskjet-3700-all-in-one-printer-series/8954253/m...

Later assign a static IP address by following the from the printer offline article and add a TCP/IP port from this link: http://psg.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/145408i41E51E2563A52474/image-size/original?v=...

This should do the trick for you. Please perform these steps patiently and diligently and it should resolve the issue.

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great.
