Operating System:  ?

==============================================

 

Normally, "Offline" can be fixed.

 

What?

 

The source of the problem is usually not hardware --

The condition that should respond to the right combination of resets, settings, and other options.

 

That said, it is true --

Everything is a lot -- Yet, at some point, you can run out of things to try.

 

Just in case something was missed, we can provide Troubleshooting suggestions.

 

If you have questions about one or another of the steps, keep reading or ask and we can try to help.

 

Perhaps fill in some of what we do not know -

For example:  printer model, OS, connection type, anything else that might narrow down what is going on

 

Offline Condition

 

Although the printer appears to be switched on, it does not communicate with other devices on your network.
