How to bring an Offline Network Printer Online?
1. Check printer's network cable, make sure it is plugged in all the way & securely on both ends.
2. Power the printer OFF, wait about a minute before turning back ON. Check if printer itself gives any network errors, if not, then it is On-Line and Ready.
3. Verify that the printer's IP Address or Host Name is the same as the port that is setup for it in the computer. You can check the printer's IP address by printing Network Configuration from the printer itself; or can view it if printer has a display.
4. Check if the router or switch that it is plugged into is ON and active. You can also change the printer network cable to a different port on the router/switch. OR test the network cable with a laptop to make sure you're receiving internet via cable.
5. Go to START --> RUN and type in services.msc and find Print Spooler; right click & Start or Restart.
