• Locally connected printer show offline on Windows 7 network after working initially

  OK, have you checked similar discussions which has no successful response.

  I have a PC with Epson printer connect directly via USB. Printer driver installed correctly.  Works very well.

  Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) no warranty other than windows firewall and microsoft security essential.

  Laptop connected wireless to PC.  On the same network and homegroup, file and media sharing, all works well.

  Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) even PC security.

  When I add a network printer, find the printer on the PC and properly installs driver etc.  Printer appears in the devices and allows to print the first two times.

  However, the next day the network printer is 'offline' in the spooler to print on the laptop.  The documents simply stack up.

  The PC doesn't go to sleep and is left on all the time except for the screen is turned off.  Printer works fine on PC, indeed with the docs stuck on the laptop I can always print directly from the PC - even if it does not appear the printer to be online on the laptop.

  Having checked that the spooler printer on the laptop is running and set to automatic.

  Epson impossible / wants to help - have found a similar thread with no response - everyone all guess what to try?

  Thank you very much

  I had a similar problem and for me, the problem is with the EPSON driver.

  My printer is connected wireless to my network, I got the IP address and could he ping but WIN 7 it showed off line.

  Then, I went and took a look at the printer driver (chosen to start, devices and printer, the epson printer then under management of the printer, printer to customize, ports then configure port)

  And I noticed that for the Standard TCP/IP Port it was pointing to a different IP address than the one that my printer was currently. I edited it to match what the printer was and he came online.

  When you turn off the printer, its IP address back in your pool of routers to be reallocated.

  The windows driver Epson still has the old IP. You turn on your printer and your router can give it an IP address that is different from last time. Now, it doesn't match with what the stored before Epson driver and you says it's offline.

  For me, rather than change the IP address in the driver whenever it happened that I assigned an IP (fixed host) in my router based on my printers MAC address. In this way he always give my printer every time the same address and is no longer false messages offline appears under Windows.

  It is a driver problem Epson, not a windows problem.

• Can not re - install Photosmart C4480 and get the error "printer is offline and error 41"

  Hello. I had some corrupted files Windows and don't update. As I put everything I like, I think I can't reinstall my HP Photosmart C4480 printer.

  My system:

  Sony Vaio, 64-bit

  Windows 8

  What I see:

  When I physically connect the printer via USB, the computer does not recognize that something has been connected. A flash drive inserted into the same port is recognized, so I don't think it's a problem of port.

  I tried a different printer cable with the same results, so don't think it's the cable

  Tried to install via the Setup program, but it does not recognize the printer.

  Tried to install manually several times. It usually looks like it installs, but impossible to print the test at the end of the installation page

  I got several error messages include:

  That not being able to communicate in both directions. I checked this setting and it is turned on

  Error 41

  Printer is offline (the printer is connected and turned on)

  After manual installation, the printer will appear in devices and printers and the print dialog box (after it hit Ctrl-P). In the dialog box, Photosmart is selected, but when I hit nothing print response happens - no printer and no printer icon appears in the taskbar

  I would greatly appreciate the help and advice to solve this. Thank you!

  Hi Renee,.

  This question might be incorrect or incompatible printer drivers installed on the computer. The State of a printer offline may be due not to the power of the printer. You must also ensure that network share can be disabled.

  For more information, see the link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/turn-sharing-on-or-off

  Error 41 problem occurs if you install a non-Plug-and-Play device driver, but Windows cannot find the device. Here are some things you can try to solve this problem.

  If all the basic settings are checked and are up to the mark, you can refer to the suggestion of Pinaki displayed in the following link and check if it helps.

  After you have uninstalled the printer driver, you can consult the following link to install the latest driver for the printer.

• Usb Extreme, by airport connection, printer shows offline

  I have 2 iMac, Airport Extreme using computers to connect wirelessly to the internet.  My HP Photosmart C4680 is connected to the Airport Extreme, by using the USB connection. I had little work on the House then I unplugged the printer from the network and now when I reconnect without other software changes, etc. - it just shows that the printer is off line as soon as I try to print anything.  I reset my Airport Extreme, checked the drivers (version 12.0 website says 11.0, so I did not tells them that the installation disk) for the printer, the worm of Mac Os X 10.6 is what I have.  The printer works fine if it is physically connected to the iMac (or the other), but does not work when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.

  First of all, using Airport utility, make sure that your airport has the latest firmware.

  On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
  
  Restart your Mac.

  Reset the printing system:
  
  -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and then beside the dropdown 'Use', select the model of the printer (not AirPrint). Wait for the 'Add' button becomes available. Until it clicks.

• HP Envy 5532: Printer shows offline

  I have a HP Envy 5532, and was connected by wirelessand successly worked fine but suddenly went "offline". The printer showed a wireless connection. I rebooted the PC and router without result. I since then connected the printer directly to the computer via the USB port and I can see it in Device Manager, but he remains firmly 'offline '. Help!

  Hey @AWA1947,

  Thanks for getting back to me on this subject. I am pleased to hear that the USB connectivity issue has been resolved. With regard to the problem of wireless connectivity can I please have you follow the steps below to check if the computer and the printer are 'talk' on the network. Once that determine us if there is wireless I will guide you through the steps to resolve the error "offline."

  Step 1: Remove the network copy:

  Because the offline version of the network printer is not printing at all, I'll have you remove this copy.

  1. Open your menu Start by selecting the Windows icon at the bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard to the right of the Ctrl key
  2. On the start screen, type devices and printers
  3. Click on devices and printers to the start
  4. In the printers and devices window, locate your copy HP Envy 5532 e-all-in-one printer (network) . Right-click on the network your printer copy and select "delete" or "remove an instrument."
  5. The only 5532 envy you want to display in this folder is the USB version.
  6. Once the network copy has been deleted please close the devices folder and printers

  Step 2: Check of connectivity:

  Then, I will be having you check if your computer and printer communicate on the wireless network.

  1. On the front panel of your HP Envy, tap the Setup (key) button at the top right
  2. Under the Setup menu, touch Wireless option
  3. Touch Wireless details
  4. Take note of The IP address and the network name SSID
  5. On your computer Windows 8.1 Please check the wireless network that you are connected to ensure that your computer and the printer are connected to the same network. Avoid to connect to networks of comments. Also make sure that your printer and computer are connected to a network of 2 ghz. If you have a double router band it can broadcast connection times 2 GHz and 5 GHz. Printers are not based on connections to 5 ghz. If you don't know how to check this, you may need to speak with your router manufacturer.
  6. When it was confirmed that your printer and computer are on the same network, please open the internet browser on your computer
  7. In the address bar of please enter the printers IP address. Don't include not the www.
  8. Search this site. A Web site for your printer should now open. This is what we call the integrated webserver (EWS browser) printers
  • Opens a Web site for your printer: This confirms that your printer and your computer communicate successfully on the network. It is possible that the old copy of the printer on your computer network has a different IP address. If the IP address has changed on the printer, computers are designed to recognize this change and continue to work with your printer. However, in some cases computers will not 'see' the network printers more. In this case your printer will remain "offline" until the IP address under the software has been updated. Please proceed to step 4 below.
  • If a Web site for your printer does not open: This indicates that your printer and computer are not communicating. This may be due to your router blocks the communication, or invalid wireless configuration. Please proceed to step 3 below to resolve this issue.

  Step 3: Powercycle network:

  1. Start by unplugging the power cable to your router
  2. Once your router is unplugged, turn your printer off
  3. Then, shut down your computer
  4. After 30 seconds to 1 minute, reconnect your router
  5. Then, turn on your printer
  6. Turn on the computer

  After a few moments, please check your computer to make sure that your internet connection is running again. Try browsing a few sites. Once the internet is to answer it please access the menu of configuration (key) on your printer again. In the Wireless menu please see wireless details and take note of the IP address. Once you have the IP address please try to access the site of the printers on your computer using the IP address.

  • If a Web site for your printer now opens correctly: That your printer and your computer communicate wirelessly once more. There is likely an update ran on your network that temporarily blocked the printer. Please proceed to step 4 below.
  • If a Web site for your printer still fails to open: Please see the Setup menu (key) on the front panel of your printer. Depending on the configuration of the menu go to Wireless menu. Select restore default network settings in the wireless Menu.

• 2545 HP Deskjet printer: my printer shows offline

  Hello

  I have connected my printer Hp Deskjet 2545 wireless all-in-one with wireless using the SSID and the state my router shows connected, but in devices and the installation of the printer, it shows 'offline' how to change to "online"?

  Help, please...

  Thank you

  Hi @3427 and welcome to the Forums of HP!

  I see that you are having connectivity problems.  I would like to help!

  I recommend you to perform a power reset.   Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  I also suggest this document on Center of troubleshooting wireless printing.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

• Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

  I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

  A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

  The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

  -Update your BIOS
  -Update all the drivers for your machine
  -Update your printer drivers
  -Update your operating system

  If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

  Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

  I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

• Printer shows offline?

  I have an Officejet Pro L7680 printer, and I have two new laptops Windows 7 who share the same problem through the wireless home network.  The printer status offline, but when I restart the laptop, it prints documents that are waiting in the print queue after the reboot. My office is able to connect without any problems via the network cable.  Any thoughts?

  Good news and thank you to all who responded.  As I was clicking on, I noticed a button, configure the Ports at the bottom right in the window properties OfficeJet.  In the next window, I clicked OFF the activator of State SNMP and print my document in the print queue.  Now, I go to my computer laptop girls and fix it.

  Thanks again. Jim
