  • How to turn offline printer online in Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.
    There are many reasons why a printer can go offline; they range from connectivity issues to a powered-down printer. Most of the time, you can bring the printer back online with a few clicks in Windows, but if not, there are additional troubleshooting steps you can take.
    1. Reboot your printer by shutting it off and turning it back on again. Give the unit a minute or two to finish booting.
    2. Verify that the printer is plugged in to your computer (for local printers) or that it has network connectivity. If the printer is a networked unit, double-check the link light on the back of the printer to make sure it’s flashing green.
    3. Log on to your computer using an account that has “Manage Printers” rights to the printer. In most cases, a local administrator account is sufficient.
    This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

    Lifesaving video! I have a Brother wireless that while getting a bit older, still works well, except for all the times it is "offline." I've tried various fixes, reinstalled drivers, etc. IF these fixes work they are always temporary. This fixed my issue immediately. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for the video. As many have stated, when I clicked "Configure Port," I got the pop-up window that stated "This operation is not supported." I then clicked the "Standard TCP/IP Port" and followed the rest of your tutorial. Afterward, I clicked "Run the troubleshooter," and it didn't recognize the new port. So I clicked back on the original port (WSD Port). Now everything works perfectly. It cleared the "Offline" error. Thanks again.

    I did what you described in your video.
    But the problem was that the "Wire" connecting the Printing machine and the Router wasn't creating a connection.
    So, 1st) I unplugged the wire and Plug it back again in the router.
    and 2nd) I tick the checkbox ✅ [SNMP Status Enabled] again. and everything was fixed.
