Hp Printer Says Offline Windows 11

Posted on 24 February, 2023 by Steven Hagerty

You can start sending the documents to print once you've added a network or USB printer to your PC or Windows 11. However, occasionally a print command will result in a printer error like HP Printer Offline, preventing the printing of subsequent documents. You must use the “Hp Printer Says Offline Windows 11” guide to switching the printer's settings from offline to online in order to resolve this issue.

Steps to follow to know How to change the Hp printer from offline to online

Check physical connections.

• Although it depends on the method you must use to connect your printer to Windows 11, you must first examine all cable connections that are available between the HP and the Windows 11 printer. Verify that no cables are loose as well. Otherwise, your printer won't be able to recognize your system and you won't be able to print anything.

Instructions for PC

• Select the "Printers and Faxes" icon from the Start menu.

• Double-click the HP printer icon you want to switch to online. All of the print jobs that are currently in the printer's queue will be listed in a pop-up window that will appear.

• Uncheck the box next to "Use printer without a connection" under the printer option in the pop-up menu bar. The printer will transition from offline to online mode after this action.

Instructions for Windows 11

• To access System Preferences, click the icon in the Dock and select it.

• Navigate to the Hardware section and select the Print and Fax Control Panel.

• From the list on the left side of the screen, choose the printer you want to use. Next, select "Open queue" from the menu.

• To bring the HP printer back online from offline, select "Resume from the printer" at the top of the queue window.

The reason why your printer is offline:

Your printer is not set by default, and therefore you should alert your devices.

The suspension/break period is very small, and that is why the printer remains inactive for a short period of time, it is disconnected.
