Hi @MarcyJ1,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Here are steps to troubleshoot your HP DeskJet 2732 series printer being offline after the Windows 11 update:
1. Check Printer Status
- Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your laptop.
2. Set Printer Online
- Open Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
- Select your HP DeskJet 2732 and click Manage.
- If it says Printer offline, look for an option to Set as default or Use printer online.
3. Restart Printer and Laptop
- Turn off the printer, unplug it for about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on. Restart your laptop as well.
4. Run the Printer Troubleshooter
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
- Select Printer and run the troubleshooter.
5. Update Printer Drivers
- Open Device Manager (right-click Start and select Device Manager).
- Expand Printers, right-click your HP printer, and select Update driver.
6. Reinstall the Printer
- Remove the printer from your devices list in Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
- Click Add a printer or scanner and follow the prompts to reinstall it.
7. Check Firewall/Antivirus Settings
- Sometimes, firewall or antivirus settings can block printer connections. Temporarily disable them to see if that resolves the issue.
8. Check Network Settings
- Ensure your printer is connected to your network by printing a network configuration page. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions on how to do this.
9. Use HP Smart App
- If you haven't already, download the HP Smart app from the Microsoft Store and use it to set up and manage your printer.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
