I have an HPENVY 4520.  It was working and now is "offline."   I plugged it in instead of using wireless but it is still not working.  Please help

@Mollieack,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you are unable to print from your HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer as it shows as offline.

This issue could occur if there are multiple copies of the same printer.

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.

And here's the step by step guide for you in the link: 'Printer Offline' or 'Printer Not Responding' Message (Mac)

Let me know how this works.
 

You have a good day ahead.

I tried what you said and was able to delete all other printers and add the HPENVY back in.  Yesterday it worked.  Today it says it is offline again.  Please help!!
