After literally 12 months of this problem, dozens of phone calls and chats with HP support, endless hours of troubleshooting, a new router/modem and STILL having this stupid printer offline issue, I am THRILLED to say that the steps in your video solved the problem!! I had to go all the way to the end (I didn't uninstall the printer though because my driver was up to date), and when I unchecked "SNMP Status Enabled" it was the game changer for me and now I can print! Additionally I changed the "Printer Name or IP Address" under configure port because it was off by one digit compared to the IP Address shown on the printer display. Thank you so much!
The Print Spooler trick worked for me. (Only spent an hour and a half of my life on this bloody problem). Your videos are clear and concise. Thank you.
Thank You, I have listened to others teching me how to get my printer online, but it did not work. You taught me to go into, "see what is printing" then click print offline. That was the magic trick for me.
most comprehensive steps for troubleshooting this issue. Went through a lot if videos for printer errors and this has to be my absolute favorite one. just made several notes for me to apply at work tomorrow
tHANK you so much you don't know how long its been that I have been trying to get my printer online. I followed your video and guess what it worked awesome.
You are a star! I have been struggling for months to resolve this problem, and you have just solved it for me in under half a minute! I cannot thank you enough.
OH MY GOODNESS! This was the answer! After watching SO many other videos with no success... YOURS was the answer! Click off the tab for "use printer offline." I don't know how that ever got ✔️ to be offline but it was. You also mentioned about my computer being "grayed" out, which it was & none of the other tutorials mentioned that either! Thank you! God bless you! I now clicked LIKE 👍 & SUBSCRIBE.
Awesome!!! Problem solved at 1:39.... I’ve only been trying to fix this problem for 3 hours before viewing this video!!!!! Thanks a bunch!!! I hear printer working!!!!
If any of you are like me and struggle to scribble out instructions, rather than keep going back, you can change the speed of speech, by clicking on the three buttons. I always make mine slower, its very helpful.
I did uninstall for the HP Smart app- then reinstalled it. It cleared the app and allowed me to install my printer on the app from scratch- connected yay!
Followed your steps, all is OK, but printer remained off line. Did the installation proces of my printer via an Acces Point wich turned out to be the problem. Installed it again via my Modem/Router and the printer stays online. Of you encounter the same problem, you could try this, it worked for me 👍🏻
Didn’t work for me . It said configuration not available . Also how do i know if i properly uninstalled the driver does it disappear from the device manager
Brian, just a quick note from a viewer. I really appreciate your efforts and vids on all subjects. I just felt today was a great time to say so..................Take care mate, AJ
*Mine ended up being solved by doing this:* **Printer Properties **Ports **Click option Port with IP address **Click Configure Port **Port Name is greyed out with your specific network IP address but underneath look for "Printer Name or IP Address" **Printer itself has IP address and you type that into "Printer Name or IP Address" on your computer. **In my case Port Name was one specific IP address while my Printer's IP Address was another set of numbers. **Pressed OK and Boom! Worked.
Thanks for the explanation, and I quote, "from Devices and Printers. (right click your printer icon, and select troubleshoot and make this printer the default printer."
🙌 I had no idea what was up with my Printer...it worked absolutely fine for years using it on and off and all of a sudden it started coming up as being Offline. I did mess around with my Network Sharing setting setting up a NAS recently so figured it must have done something...but I use USB and there's nothing there. Well the first option did the trick, it was Offline for some reason! Subbed👍
I am still troubleshooting [approx 2 weeks] my HP Photosmart e-AIO D110 series; the was illustrating that both my computer and printer need troubleshooting; the troubleshooter detected that the driver was not installed and the printer is offline; then when I attempt to install the driver illustrates the best driver is installed on the device; illustrated that this device was working fine - I am confused about the problems because I was receiving conflicting information about the problem and solution; I uninstalled all the software and drivers associated with my printer; I delved into the command prompt and started removing files - at least a few that I don't use and discovered a new problem - learned that I can't delete or remove some software files and/or directories i.e., "PCMatic Trial". I disconnected/reconnected my printer multiple occasions during my troubleshooting sessions. I also learned that my HP printer is no longer supported under HP's Notice Web Services Stop Working on certain HP Printers, ePrint and Printer Apps are affected. For more information; View article - HP states if you want to print just install the basic print driver - that didn't work just as their stupid "HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows" doesn't resolve my problem. After the fourth or fifth re-installation of my printer's software - I finally was able to print a document, although "HP Solutions Center states the printer is disconnected"! I think I am back to Square 1!
Bro, i normaly dont comment on yt but my friend i have been trying to fix this fkin HP printer working, for 4hours +trying to fix it finnaly i found you video ! now its working!
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT EXPLANATION !!Thanks a lot you 've been a bless for me I did it all but at the end I had to download and setup again my driver's this sort out as well my printer wifi connection thanks Mate :-)
I have followed your instruction ,and when I went to trouble shooter it came up printer is not turned on when it is??? then I continued with your check list and got to Device Manager, and print Queues is there but not Printer?? I hasve a limited amount of hair, PLEASE HELP!
Thank you soooo Much. Always works perfectly for me by typing "Services" in the search bar-than Services Desk Top App, than to printer spooler, rt click, click stop & than click start.
Something else I've found often works is to power down the printer, shut down the PC, power down your router/modem and then power the whole lot back up.
it took 8 minutes to show the exact same thing I couldn't do when shown in 2 minutes in other videos, when clicking. "Configure Ports" I still get, This operation not supported. Now I need to find a solution to solve G before getting to F, and so on down the line until I get to A. Thanks

Great video,. Thanks a million,. I tried 3 different videos before finding this one and got issue resolved on my hp F2430
Thank you! I've tried so many videos and this was the only one that worked, so simple.

The first step with doing trouble shoot worked and printer got back online. Thank you!
Best videos on UA-cam for PC Techs! This is an especially useful one!
Thanks for the kind words Bill
This is gold. Thank you for all of the different troubleshooting steps
Thank you so much...I'm PC illiterate and after months of not being able to print from my desktop I was able to correct the problem with your help.

OMG!!! thank you so much!i have been up all night trying to make this printer work and no other video helped except yyourrs may God bless you! tysm!
Best advice on solving offline printer issues, hands down!
Thank you for this video! Going to Services and cycling the Print Spooler on and off (at 2:52 in the video) seemed to fix the problem for me.
I did uninstall for the HP Smart app- then reinstalled it. It cleared the app and allowed me to install my printer on the app from scratch- connected yay!
Thank you for your help! really clear instructions and I could follow them by pausing often. Thank you again.
Thank you so much! I watched about 5 other videos on this problem but yours was the only one that helped :)
Thank you! My printer became a table coaster after HP software was installed. Great clear and concise video.
It'll disappear from the printer list in device manager.
Xks
Followed your steps, all is OK, but printer remained off line.
Did the installation proces of my printer via an Acces Point wich turned out to be the problem.
Installed it again via my Modem/Router and the printer stays online.
Of you encounter the same problem, you could try this, it worked for me 👍🏻
Thank you! You just solved my 3 months worth of problem haha.
Thank you so much for your video. The very good tip in your video is: “see what is printing”. My problem has been fixed. Thank you, Sir
Thanks. I know nothing about computers but followed your directions and first time printer worked. Subscribing today.
Thanks a lot. Your video is the only one that actually worked for my printer.
Didn’t work for me . It said configuration not available . Also how do i know if i properly uninstalled the driver does it disappear from the device manager
Suzette Campo run as administrator
my printer is "shaded" in the control panel and none of the suggestions work :(
One quick click and the printer started printing again. Thanks for the video.
Restarting the print spool fixed my issue. Thanks a tonne.
Brian, just a quick note from a viewer. I really appreciate your efforts and vids on all subjects. I just felt today was a great time to say so..................Take care mate, AJ
Thanks for the kind words and support AJ
Your most welcome.
*Mine ended up being solved by doing this:*
**Printer Properties

**Click option Port with IP address
**Click Configure Port
**Port Name is greyed out with your specific network IP address but underneath look for "Printer Name or IP Address"
**Printer itself has IP address and you type that into "Printer Name or IP Address" on your computer.
**In my case Port Name was one specific IP address while my Printer's IP Address was another set of numbers.
**Pressed OK and Boom! Worked.
Excellent video, Out of all the others i watched, yours was the best and got my HP printer back online very quickly, Have hit the subscribe button
Its useful for me in the printer spool stop and start.. I am using Brother j3930...Thanks
Thanks for the explanation, and I quote, "from Devices and Printers. (right click your printer icon, and select troubleshoot and make this printer the default printer."
You are a blessing! I didn't know that it was so easy to fix this problem. You explained everything so well. Thank you so much!🥰🥰
Very useful, Brian. Sometimes I tend to overcomplicate things, and this is a great step by step guide. Thanks.
Cheers Jim
Thanks a million, stopping and starting Printer Spooler did it :)
🙌 I had no idea what was up with my Printer...it worked absolutely fine for years using it on and off and all of a sudden it started coming up as being Offline.

Thank you ...worked for me ...
Can you give some idea about port settings and assignment of ports in wireless HP printers ..
Thanks in advance .
thank you worked a treat and very simply explained.
Don't know what it was but once I started the troubleshooter it reconnected. Thanks!
Thank you very much. I followed your steps and eventually found my problem and fixed it. Thank you again.
That worked. Better advice than from Microsoft as it kept telling me to switch the printer on, which it already was.
Thank you so much. I have been able to remedy this problem more than once by going to Services and Printer Spooler. Works like a Gem.
Thank you so much was so frustrated until I saw your UA-cam and it was so quick and easy to fix my offline thank you again!
Thanks so much! The first fix, stopped at 2:07 worked. Thanks again
You're brilliant dude! thanks a bunch was spending hours and then saw your video started printing straight away God Bless you !!

Thank you it worked after the Control panel, sharing... Phew, I was losing money🙏🏿
Thanks very much.
Hey dude! You helped me a lot with last fact from video. Thank you a bunch! 🙂
Would these steps work for a HP Deskjet 5440 and I have the CD but problem is my PC says not compatible
Something else I've found often works is to power down the printer, shut down the PC, power down your router/modem and then power the whole lot back up.
Thanks for sharing.
it took 8 minutes to show the exact same thing I couldn't do when shown in 2 minutes in other videos, when clicking. "Configure Ports" I still get, This operation not supported. Now I need to find a solution to solve G before getting to F, and so on down the line until I get to A. Thanks
