Hi,
try to turn off the printer. Then turn it on and wait for it to establish connection with your computer. This has to fix your problem.
If the problem persists try to enter the printer from your Computer. If you haven't checked the Use Printer Online box. If you enable that box you will fix your problem

Hi,

Go to system settings and select the 'Printer' option.

Right-click on the printer and enable the 'Use Printer Online' function.

Cancel all the printing jobs till that moment and redo the process.

Sometimes the 'Printer Offline' message occurs due to a 'Job Stuck' issue.

Check all network connections and functions.

Be sure the network interfaces work properly.

Turn the printer off and on to see whether the device is working properly.

How to turn printer from offline to online

Often times the printer will show being offline if the computer wasn't turned on before the printer. Also, if you have more than one printer be sure the printer you are trying to use is selected in the printer setup page.

Scan problem

What is it scaner or paper problem?

If it is a paper problem take out all of the paper and return few pages in the tray. Try and print out something.

But I still thing that you will have trouble.

If the things I tell you don\'t wotk you may have to change a spear part like drum unit or a toner cartridge.

Sometimes if the drum unit is at it\'s life end you may experiance this problem.

Faded printing issues with Brother MFC-9320

Try cleaning the corona wire on each toner cartridge. This may help solve your solution.
If this does not help try another thing.
Try and replace the toner cartridge. Maybe your toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Usualy when printed images are light or pale a toner cartridge replacement is recommended.
