    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 👍🏻

    *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.

    🙌 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!
