Product: DeskJet 2800
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Every single time I turn on my printer (a 2800 DeskJet) it is "offline". It is 2025! I have never experienced such stupidity. I have used many printers over many years and this is by far the worst. I have tried all the suggested fixes. Nothing works on a permanent basis. I have an HP laptop which is okay and an HP printer which is utterly useless. Hours wasted on this heap of garbage!

Are you using a wireless or USB connection?

If connections are good a restart of the print spooler might fix your issue.

Thanks for your reply. It's wireless. Good connection. I've tried the print spooler - restart and troubleshooter.
