When your HP printer shows the status as offline, the chances are that the network connectivity might not be appropriate. There could also be incorrect settings. The HP printer offline status will not allow your system to communicate with the device, and hence, you will not be able to print or scan anything. Take a look at the fix for this. 

 

  • First, you will be required to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor. 
  • After the tool has been downloaded, run it on your computer.
  • After the HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click on “Start.”
  • Now, select the name of your HP printer. On the off chance that you do not see the name of your printer, click on “Retry,” and it will appear. 
  • Your system may be prompted to turn on the printer updates in case of any. Click on “Yes” to install and then tap “Continue.”
  • Running the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool will resolve the offline printer status. The tool will also guide you with the instructions if there is an error with the connection.
