Hi @Kittenz26,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I know how frustrating it is when your HP DeskJet 4155e shows offline, especially when you need to print urgently. Let’s get it back online quickly:

1. Check Printer Status

  • Make sure the printer is powered on and the Wi-Fi light is solid blue (not blinking).
  • If blinking, reconnect to Wi-Fi using the Wireless button on the printer.


2. Restart Devices

  • Turn off the printer, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
  • Restart your computer and router to refresh the connection.


3. Set Printer Online in Windows 11

  1. Go to Settings → Bluetooth & Devices → Printers & Scanners.
  2. Select your HP DeskJet 4155e → Open Queue.
  3. If you see Use Printer Offline checked, uncheck it.


4. Use HP Smart App

  • Open HP Smart on your PC or phone.
  • If the printer shows offline, click Reconnect or Add Printer.
  • Make sure you’re signed into your HP account (required for HP+ printers).


5. Reset Network Settings (If Still Offline)

  • On the printer, press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons together for 5 seconds.
  • This resets Wi-Fi settings.
  • Re-add the printer in HP Smart and reconnect to your Wi-Fi.


6. Update Firmware

  • In HP Smart, go to Printer Settings → Advanced → Firmware Update.
  • Outdated firmware can cause offline issues.
