I followed your suggestion, but it did not work. My PC did not give me an opition. So I called HP for help and a man in Canada knew what the problem was. I have a new HP PC with Windows 8 and my printer was set up for my old HP PC for Windows 7, he downloaded the HP Officejet Pro 8600 for Windows 8 and the printer is now online, and all my problems have been solved with my printer and new HP PC. Thank you for your suggestion, guess it was my fault I didn't go into detail about the new PC having Windows 8 on it. Sorry!
Sincerely,
Maria L. Wood

I right click and there is no "use printer online" the original printer is J4680 . I lost the CD and downloaded webservice printer C6266. I right click on the icon and nothing; status is still offline.
the printer is used as wi-fi printer , windows 8.1, the icon is HPEC6266 subfolder HPJ4680.
😞 grrrr!!! now what???

If the printer is turned on but the os is stating it is offline, go to the control panel and find printers. Right click the icon of your printer and choose the option "use printer online". If this doeasnt work for you provide me with some more info.
