Printer is offline how di i fix it - HP OfficeJet J4580 All-In-One Laser Printer

Hi,
Check the status of the printer at Control Panel. Set it to online if it's shown as offline. If this doesn't fix the problem, check whether installing the vista driver available at your printer manufacturer's website helps.

Step 1:
a. Click Start, go to Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound.
b. Click Printer.
c. If the Printer is offline, it shows "Offline" status. If the Printer is online it shows "Ready".
d. If the Printer is offline, set it to online.
e. Right-click on the printer and select "Use Printer Online".
f. The display should change to ready when the printer is set to online.

I was also facing same issue with my DELL printer it shows offline. I tried a lot to fix that however I was not able to fix that. I got this link http://www.printer-techsupport.com/Dell-printer-support.html over the internet. I just visited and made a call on their toll free and got instant help for my DELL printer.

On Printer and faxes, right click on your printer and unselect "Use printer Offline". If "Use printer Offline" is not select, then verify you USB cable.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If thishelps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonialfor my response.

Delete the printer and reinstall it ...

Right click printer properties and select online. Start /settings /printers. Offline can also indicate a connection is not available - this occurs with demo versions of printer software. When the demo expires, the printer goes offline. The fix is to just use windows networking and shared printer.

In Control Panel - Printers, Right-click the Dell 1710N and remove check for Offline.

a few questions:

-Do you know this printer IP?
-Can you ping this printer?
-How many printers do you have on your network?
-Did all the printers on your network offline or just this printer?
-Did you check the network cable that connected to your printer?

solution:
-you might try to restart printer spooling service on your print server
or
-If your server is still functional, you might try to reinstall/set up this printer on network
