How do I Stop my Printer from Going Offline?
When I am looking to stop my HP printer form going offline , I follow these steps. These steps will ensure that your printer is always online. When a printer is in offline mode, you won’t be able to send any print jobs and you have to go to printer settings to manually switch it to online mode.
- Press the Windows Start Button and click on the Control panel.
- Now, you need to look for Devices and Printers icon and click on it.
- Now, you need to right-click on the printer you want to keep online and select Properties from the menu.
- Now, you need to go to the ports tab and click on the Add Port button.
- Choose TCP/IP Port from the drop-down list and select a new Port.
- Now, you need to add printers IP address and click on the Finish button.
