The printer had printed the last time I used it, but when I went to use it again it was offline. When I put in printer pin it didn't recognize it.

Hi @Roger-_,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Check the Printer Connection:
- Ensure that the printer is properly connected to your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. You might want to restart your router and printer to re-establish the connection.
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off your printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
Set Default Printer:
- Go to your computer's "Devices and Printers" settings, right-click on your printer model, and select "Set as default printer".
Clear Printer Queue:
- Sometimes clearing the print queue can help. Go to "Devices and Printers," right-click on your printer, and select "See what's printing." Then, cancel all documents.
Run Printer Troubleshooter:
- Use the built-in printer troubleshooter on your computer to diagnose and fix issues.
Update Printer Drivers:
- Ensure that your printer drivers are up-to-date. You can do this by visiting the HP Support website and downloading the latest drivers for your printer model.
Re-add Printer:
- Sometimes removing the printer from your devices and re-adding it can help.
I hope this helps.
