Hello Tank4,
Go to:

After that, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor tool, this should resolve the issue with the printer showing offline and remove the documents from your queue. Keep a copy of this to resolve this issue if it occurs again.

I'm having major problems getting my HP Envy 4500 to print. It's showing offline, downloaded the HP Print & Scan Dr which said it had "fixed the problem" and it printed a test page OK - twice. But I can't print my document. Have new HP computer with the dreadful WIndows 10 on it.

This issue could occur if the drivers are not configured properly.

2.If you are using USB printer then check usb cable and power cable connected to printer.
3.If it's Wi- Fi Printer then restart your Router or Modem provided by Internet service provider.
you can try to print now.
