Hi @panchopistolas,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
I understand that you are having issues with your printer offline.
To assist better:
- I would like to know if the blue light is solid on the printer.
- Did you make any changes to your router?
- Did you install any antivirus recently?
While you respond to that, I request you to follow the below steps to resolve the issue.
Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to check connectivity
Download a special version of HP Print and Scan Doctor specifically created to help with printer offline conditions.
- Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.
- Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
- Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.
- If your printer in not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.
- If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
- If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
- If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.
