How do you fix an offline printer? -

My HP Photosmart C3100 (not sure if the type of printer is important) won t turn on. When I try to print out a document from Word, it says the printer is offline. Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Go to Control Panel gt; Printers gt; Open the printer you are working with gt; File then unchecked quot;user printer offlinequot;. If the problem persist try turning your printer off and on because a simple reset on your printer can be the solution.

If the printer is off, then it will appear as offline to the computer. So you have to figure out how to get the printer to turn on. Make sure it is plugged in and such; and check the instructions for troubleshooting information.

first of all turn the printer on,next go into printers and see if the printer says ready or online if it doesnt then right click the printer then click on use printer online. now see if it prints if it doesnt you may have to uninstallamp;reinstall.
