Hi @robyct80,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

If your HP DeskJet 3762 printer is showing as offline even though the wireless connection is on, you can try the following troubleshooting steps.

 

  • Restart Printer: Turn off the printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This can sometimes reset the printer and resolve connectivity issues.
  • Restart Router: If the printer is connected wirelessly, restart your wireless router. Sometimes, network issues can cause the printer to go offline.
  • Check Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure that the printer is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network. You may need to re-enter the Wi-Fi password to establish a stable connection.
  • Check Printer Settings: On the printer's control panel, navigate to the wireless settings and verify that the wireless connection is enabled and properly configured.
  • Update Printer Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
  • Restart Computer: If you're trying to print from a computer, try restarting your computer. Sometimes, issues with the computer's network settings can affect the printer's connectivity.
  • Reinstall Printer Drivers: If none of the above steps work, try reinstalling the printer drivers on your computer. Sometimes, outdated or corrupted drivers can cause connectivity problems.
  • Check for Interference: Ensure that no physical barriers or electronic devices are interfering with the wireless signal between the printer and the router.
  • Reset Printer Network Settings: As a last resort, you can try resetting the printer's network settings to factory defaults and then reconfigure the wireless connection.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
