Hi @342507,

Here's how to check the printer info and clear an "offline" status with stuck documents:

  1. Print a Network Configuration or Printer Status report from the printer's control panel (Settings/Setup > Reports). It shows the IP address and whether it's connected.
  2. On the PC, open Settings > Printers & scanners > your printer > Open print queue, and cancel all documents.
  3. If they won't clear, open Services, stop "Print Spooler", delete the files in C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, then start the spooler again.
  4. Restart the printer and router; then in Printers & scanners, uncheck "Use Printer Offline" if it's selected.
  5. If it still shows offline, remove the printer and add it again using the IP address from the report.

Please share your printer model and how it's connected (Wi-Fi/USB).
