Hi @bleilerd,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand your HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer is connected to the internet but shows as offline when trying to print, here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

 

Check Printer Status:

  • Ensure the printer is powered on and not in sleep mode.
  • Check the printer's display for any error messages or warnings.

Restart Printer and Devices:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Turn off your router, wait for about 30 seconds, and then turn it back on.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Verify Network Connection:

  • Make sure the printer is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network. You can print a network configuration page from the printer to check the connection details.
  • Ensure your computer is connected to the same network as the printer.

Set Printer to Online:

  • On your computer, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click on your HP ENVY 5530 printer and select See what's printing.
  • In the window that opens, click Printer in the menu bar and uncheck Use Printer Offline.

Update Printer Driver:

  • Go to the HP Support website and download the latest drivers for your HP ENVY 5530 printer.
  • Install the drivers and restart your computer.

Check Print Spooler Service:

  • Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
  • Find Print Spooler in the list, right-click on it, and select Restart.

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor: HP Print and Scan Doctor

  • Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool. This tool can automatically diagnose and fix many printing and scanning issues.

Re-add the Printer:

  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  • Remove the HP ENVY 5530 printer by right-clicking and selecting Remove device.
  • Click Add a printer and follow the prompts to re-add the printer.

Firewall and Security Software:

  • Temporarily disable any firewall or security software on your computer to see if it is blocking the printer.
