Hi @SisterGP,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand your HP DeskJet 4152e All-in-One Printer is showing as offline and won't connect to your Dell Inspiron 16,

 

 here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
 

Check Printer Status:

  • Make sure the printer is turned on and there are no error messages or warning lights.
  • Check the printer’s display for any alerts or messages.

Check Connections:

  • If using a USB connection, ensure the cable is securely connected to both the printer and the computer. Try using a different USB port or cable if available.
  • If connected via Wi-Fi, ensure the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.

Restart Devices:

  • Restart your printer, computer, and router (if applicable). Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

Set as Default Printer:

  • Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.
  • Select your HP DeskJet 4152e and click Manage.
  • Click Set as default.

Update Printer Drivers:

  • Visit the HP Support website and download the latest drivers for the HP DeskJet 4152e for Windows 11.
  • Install the drivers and restart your computer.

Run the Printer Troubleshooter:

  • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
  • Select Printer and then click Run the troubleshooter. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Check Printer Settings:

  • Open the Control Panel and go to Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click on your HP DeskJet 4152e and select See what's printing.
  • Click Printer in the menu and ensure Use Printer Offline is not checked.

Reinstall the Printer:

  • Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.
  • Select your HP DeskJet 4152e and click Remove device.
  • Re-add the printer by clicking Add a printer or scanner and follow the prompts to set it up again.
