@Dee-Dee3, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
It sounds frustrating when your printer goes offline! Here are some steps to help you get your HP Deskjet 4100 series printer back online:

Restart Devices:

  • Turn off your printer and disconnect it from the power source.
  • Restart your computer or mobile device and your internet router.
  • Turn the printer back on and try to print again.

Check Network Connection:

  • Ensure that both your printer and the device you want to print from are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Move the printer closer to the router if necessary.

Update Drivers and Firmware:

  • Make sure you have the latest printer driver installed. You can download it from the HP Support website.
  • Update the printer firmware if available.

Use HP Smart App:

  • Download the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. Use the Diagnose & Fix tool within the app to automatically resolve issues.

Check Printer Settings:

  • Ensure the printer is set as the default printer on your computer.
  • Check the printer's status in the control panel and make sure it is not set to "Use Printer Offline."
