Product: HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Recently I am getting errors about the "printer is offline". The printer was purchased in 2013. I finally got it in my network. Just wondering if it is worth keeping.
Thanks

Hello,
In order to palliate this issue, please check the printer status as follows:
- On the keyboard, press the Windows logo key and the R key simultaneously. The Run window opens.
- Type control printers, then press Enter key. The Devices and Printers window opens.
- Right-click the name of your HP ENVY 4500 series printer, then click See what's printing or Open queue.
- Click Printer, and then uncheck Pause Printing and uncheck Use Printer Offline and close all windows.
- Try to print.
If the issue continues, please configure a new port as follows:
- On the keyboard, press the Windows logo key and the R key simultaneously. The Run window opens.
- Type control printers, then press Enter key. The Devices and Printers window opens.
- Right-click on your printer icon, then click on Printer properties, click on the Ports tab, and click on Add Port....
- Select Standard TCP/IP Port and click New Port....
- Click Next, then enter the printer's IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.97) in the Printer Name or IP Address field and click Next.
- Once the port is added, click Finish and close all windows.
- Try to print.
I remain at your disposal in case of need.
