    Sometimes, the status of the printer is offline, or it is not working correctly because of the incorrectly installed or copied drivers and connecting the USB into the wrong port. If the problem that exists is due to several copied drivers, make sure you chose the driver you know is working

If you are incapable to print to your installed Brother printer because it is looking as offline, then you can change some of the printer's settings so that you can resume printing documents. Windows gives a built-in feature for toggling between offline mode, which can resolve many of the "Printer Offline" notifications that you are receiving from your Brother printer. But, if this option does not solve your problems, you may need to make some real differences to your printer connection to replace normal printing functionality.

Steps that fix Brother Printer Offline Windows 10:

1. Click the "Start" button at the bottom-left corner of your computer screen, and then click "Devices and Printers."

2. Right-click your Brother printer icon, and then click "See What's Printing."

3. Click "Printer" at the top of the window, and then look for a blue checkmark to the left of "Use Printer Offline."

4. Full Solution of error is here- Brother Printer Offline Windows 10

SOURCE: printer online then offline

My first solotution was to reinstall the printer as a new printer. But that is uncessary. The fix is as easy as changing the IP address the in Port.

The problem is the the IP address for your wirelss is not static. and when it changes, the printer does not recognize the new IP address. When this occurs. go the the printer folder ( in the control panel) and click on 'add new priter'. Then select 'add a network wirless printer . NO NEED TO INSTALL THE PRINTER...you just want to see the IP address.

Note the IP address.

GO to the printer, click on the right mouse and select 'properties'
Click on Port
You will see the current port already highlighted.
Click on ' configure port' and change the IP address under "printer name or IP address.
Click OK.
Problem solved

Good luck.

SOURCE: "brother mfc 7840w printer goes offline and i cannot print need turn printer on and off.

The solution, and it took me a long time to find the simple solution, is to right click on your printer, click properties, click the ports tab and click on your Brother printer and click on configure port (or you can delete the existing one and then add another one). What you want to do is update the IP Address. The problem is that the printer does not have a static IP address, it is dynamic. If you want to confirm that, go to your printer and press the reports button and print out the network configuration report. Your IP address will show on that. It's really the last digit in the IP address that changes. This will absolutely solve your problem. Good Luck!

My printer is "offline"

Try disabling the firewall, printing, re-enabling the firewall. My printer keeps working after re-enabling the firewall (at least for a while). Not ideal, but beats reinstalling the printer.
