As I have not had any Instant Ink Cartridges since last February and my black ink cartridge is running low, I was prompted to look in HP Smart to see if there was any reason for this. My printer is shown as offline, with the message that my ink levels cannot be monitored if the printer is offline. However, when I open an application such as Microsoft Word the printer is shown as Ready and I can print any document without any problem.
I raised this with HP this morning and was told someone would ring me back. It is now nearly 8.00pm (BST)and still no phone call from HP.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why my printer is offline with HP but not here on my own WIFI network? There are only two of us using the printer, myself using my desktop and my wife using her laptop.
