office jet pro 9015 printer will not print half of the time

[lutheraner]

My HP office jet pro frequently stalls on hold in the queue and shows an "offline" error code.  My only solution that works most - but not all of the time - is to turn it off and then back on again - wasting valuable time.  I have had the printer temporarily "fixed" by Geek squad over dozens times by updating the drivers.  But a couple of weeks later it wont print again.  Also, this problem has followed me through 3 printers of the same type i.e. hp office jet pro 9015.

Consider...

If you have installation, offline, or port issues, assign a TCP/IP port for the printer.

Example:

1. How-to “Create TCP Port” Contributed by greenturtle

Create TCP IP port

1. Print a Configuration Page to get the printer's IPv4 address (you can also tap on the wireless icon on the Front panel of your Printer to get the IP address)
2. On your PC, go to Control Panel, from Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
3. Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
4. Type in the proper IP address for the printer.

This video resource will show you how to do it:
Create & Use TCP IP port

Note that you can ALWAYS revert back to the original port that the HP software installed by selecting the HP port under the Ports tab (in Printer Properties)

Consider assigning a static IP address to the printer.
