OfficeJet 4630 continues to go 'Offline'

I recently got a HP desktop computer (model 21-h014) with a wireless OfficeJet 4630. I have donwloaded the latest version of the software from HP directly from the site and installed the correct versions on this 21-h014 (Windows 8.1) and a Toshiba Windows XP laptop (all on ther same network). The initially installed two very well and felt fine. However, recently the latest HP desktop computer wouldn't print to this printer. He would show as "OFFLINE" in the devices.

However, it would still be print very well since the older XP laptop. I reinstalled the software on the desktop Windows 8.1 and it worked again. 2 days later, he went "OFFLINE" for Windows 8 PC, but still worked fine with XP laptop.

I had to reinstall the software 3 times now on the desktop Windows 8 so that it can fully recognize the printer and start printing again. However, I have never had to reinstall on XP laptop and it just keeps working on it.

What happens here? Yet once, I checked, I had the correct version of the software installed (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) and sound directly from the HP site and not the CD supplied with the printer, so it should be the latest version.

Any suggestions on why it keeps going offline for Windows 8.1 PC? Can be solved somehow. If Yes, how to reinstall the software every day becomes tedious REAL at this point.

Okay, I tried all the suggestions provided in the links, but none of them seemed to work as the printer would always be listed as "OFFLINE". However, I don't seem to fix it with one alternative that others can try if they're running intot he same situation.

Basically, it seemed that I was running because of problems that the printer would get asigned a different IP address each time, it has been turned on. That's when he would then 'Offline'. Therefore, I went into my NETGEAR router configuration area and makes the router assign this printer (according to its MAC address) a certain IP address on the network. At the time, it was 192.168.1.5 so it is essentially 'fixed' address the router is now give the printer HP every time.

Totally, I reinstalled the HP software and released for 192.168.1.5 for the printer also. 2 weeks now and member of the family told the printer still works fine, so I think that this has solved the problem 'Offline'. I think you can do that on the printer itself and did have a static IP address, but not sure I na not go that route this time (I was able to do this method remotely for the Member of the family).

I hope this helps for anyone else who may have a similar problem. It might be a solution for ANY printer too.

  • OfficeJet 4630: HP 4630. Message offline and windows 8 questions

    Hi, am a 4630 all-in-one. fashion 'sleep' something mobile (iPhone, iPad or android tablet) wakes up it and it prints perfectly. PC, however, is another question, he wakes up not at all. Even when her awake, we still sometimes get a printer of saying error message is offline.

    This isn't the end of the problems. When we finally get it to print something the PC it will no print and a half pages, spit on the printed page, half with an error message saying: it has been a problem. Doesn't mean what the problem is.

    Please help, its been my head now. What we want is a printer that prints, we never had any problems with HP stuff before and it's just incredibly frustrating, especially when my son tries to print working from home.

    Please help, before he found a window!

    Hi there @ricfrench!

    Please contact us on the HP Forums!

    I see that your Officejet 4630 does not only when printing from your computer running Windows 8.  I wouldn't advice the former on the method of the window.  If the printer is capable of printing from mobile devices and test stand alone as a photo and then copy the firmware and hardware in the printer works properly.  Looks like you can have a light software or a firewall problem possible cause.

    The first thing I recommend is to uninstall the HP software. Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 6830 constantly go 'offline' and cannot print

    Hello world.

    I love my HP OfficeJet Pro 6830. It does everything I need a printer / scanner but it is one of the aspects that are really starting to annoy me and my family (i.e. my WIFE!) - he continues to go 'Offline '.

    I understand perfectly that it needs/desires to go to save mode, when I'm not using it or have not used for some time, but for now, every time I have seem to need to use it (after I have not used for some time) of energy, it is listed as 'offline' and the only way I can print is stepping on him , turn off, turn it back on, wait a while so it connects to my WiFi network and then have another go. Then it works... and prints the other five copies of the document that my eager family tried to print!

    "HP print and Scan Doctor" said he of just nothing wrong and just suggest just uninstall and reinstall. I already tried and it changed nothing. Same problem with Windows 7 and 8.1. It will print a page of 'internal' test, but not via Windows test page.

    I also tried to restart the spoler and checked the 'File and Printer sharing' settings, the firewall settings and looked at the network discovery and run various windows troubleshooting tools without result. Nothing works, but the HP Officejet Pro 6830 software can see / communicate with him! It's so frustrating.

    Someone at - it ideas? This really, REALLY boring. Thanks in advance to anyone who donated their time to help me.

    Steve.

  • Cannot sweep the all-in-one Officejet 4630

    Hi all - help needed please.

    Recently bought a printer all-in-one Officejet 4630 and had nothing but trouble, set-up and use it. After several attempts to put in place, everything is roughly in order, though I can't yet scan of the control on the machine Panel (I can scan only through "system preferences" under the apple icon).  Whenever I try to scan the engine control panel (and not through system preferences), using either the wireless network (Airscan or whatever it's called) or the USB cable, I have the following message on my laptop screen:

    Task is not available

    The task of "Photo (JPEG)" found on your device is not available on your system. Please select another task.

    The same thing happens if I try to scan to PDF. I use an old (c.2007 MacBook Pro) that runs the OSX10.9.5 Mavericks. Internet connectivity is not a problem because we have the right cable broadband. All I want to do is scan directly from the printer to my computer, preferably using a wireless connection. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Hi @nckbtlr and Happy Halloween!

    I'm sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Officejet 4630. I understand that you are unable to scan from the front of the printer. I'd be happy to help you with this.

    In the spirit of Halloween, first I have to ask: what did the Mummy to tell the Agent from HP Support?    Let's wrap this case up!

    I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the software. Please follow the instructions below to complete a more comprehensive uninstall than basic uninstall. I know that these steps look long and convoluted, but I made it easy to follow and have confidence that these steps will solve the problem.

    Scrub / uninstall

    • Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett-Packard folder > Uninstall HP
    • Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
    • * Only perform this step if you have not all other HP printers.  Press and hold the Option, control and command, while now the three buttons.
    • Click Uninstall.

    Reset the printing system

    1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

  • HP Officejet 4630: Problem installing HP Officejet 4630

    Hello

    I hope someone in these forums can help me get my printer to work.  I currently have a HP Officejet 4630 who can no longer printer from my computer Windows 10, and I don't know why.  I first had the problem when I upgraded my old computer to 10 Windows, the computer sees the printer, but when it will install the drivers, it says that it cannot connect to the printer wirelessly or wired.  I can print to the printer from mobile devices (iPhone, iPad) simply not my main computer.  I have an older model HP Envy 120 that I can view and print for just fine, but it is my printer to work and I prefer not to use it for day to day general printing which is not a related work.  I think that it is a firewall problem, but to be honest, I don't know how, or what are the changes that I need to check if this is the problem.  When I look at the printer in printers and driver section, it says that the printer is not available and that no drivers are loaded to the printer.  I know that I need drivers, but continuous HP told me no printer is installed and custom install drivers for it.  Help, please

    or drag to the bottom of the tab at the top of a screen to open the dashboard, and then tap (wireless), touch
    (Settings). Tap Settings wireless and then tap wireless to activate it.
    If the blue wireless light is flashing, it means that the printer is not connected to a network. Use the wireless configuration

    Turn off the router and the printer and then turn them back on in this order: router first, and then click Printers.
    Sometimes, disabling devices and then turn their back on helping solve the problems of network communication.
    If you still can not connect, turn off the router, the printer and the computer and then turn them back on in this

  • HP Officejet 4630: Printing on both sides, no option to turn off when you print a Word Doc; When printing Pages

    Recently, when printing, the printer appear uses both sides of the paper, even when we don't want him. There is no option to turn it off when you print a Word document.


    When printing Pages it shows a checked box that says BOTH SIDES, if I uncheck, then it works.

    But from Word, there is no other choice. I tried the file/Preferences, I tried through the printer settings and nothing we can find will solve this problem? This has recently (last week or two) become a problem...

    Hi RoCryan,

    Please become a member of the community of HP support.  I understand you are trying to enter your network password in the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect to your Officejet 4630.

    When you try to enter a number, you press the number the number your require. While looking at the front panel of the printer when you press a number which has corresponding letters, you should get the opportunity to choose characters that you want by pressing the same number until the character, you have need is highlighted. For example, if you want a '3', when you press the '3' on the front panel of the printer, the first character is a tiny would"; you have to press 3 until the 3 is highlighted (there is place your options ', 'e', 'f' '', 'E', 'F' or ' 3' ").

    Hi @RameshRK,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request message.

    I understand that you have a HP Officejet 4630 e-all-in-one printer you bought a cartridge of black and tri-color and when you put them in the printer, it is said that the Tricolor cartridge has been used previously. I would like to help with that.

    The message is intended to indicate reloaded or counterfeit ink cartridges, but it can also occur when a genuine HP cartridge is depleted or nearly depleted.

    The error message "used, done or false detected cartridge ' refers to rate of rewards. HP Rewards are available when you install a genuine HP cartridge. If you receive this message long after you have installed a new cartridge, you can ignore.

    Here is a document of support that can help you with the message "Already used genuine HP cartridges installed" - "used or false detected cartridge" or "False Advisory cartridge" Message is displayed.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

    Hi @MichalP,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

    I understand that you use a HP Officejet 4630 e-all-in-one printer with a computer Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and the printer will not print even though it now says "Printing". I would like to help with that.

    You mentioned that you tried a second computer and it did the same thing. The second computer is a Mac as well?

    I would start by doing a Reset of the power on the printer. Maybe the printer is in an error state.

    It looks like the image that you tried to load didn't download successfully so I'm not able to see what it was.

    Please let me know if the power reset helped, or if you need further assistance. If you need to return, please indicate which operating system and uses the second computer.
