- How to turn offline printer online in Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.
There are many reasons why a printer can go offline; they range from connectivity issues to a powered-down printer. Most of the time, you can bring the printer back online with a few clicks in Windows, but if not, there are additional troubleshooting steps you can take.
1. Reboot your printer by shutting it off and turning it back on again. Give the unit a minute or two to finish booting.
2. Verify that the printer is plugged in to your computer (for local printers) or that it has network connectivity. If the printer is a networked unit, double-check the link light on the back of the printer to make sure it’s flashing green.
3. Log on to your computer using an account that has “Manage Printers” rights to the printer. In most cases, a local administrator account is sufficient.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

NO it only made it more confusing
unfortunately my computer keeps saying that configuration is not supported smh
No, you did not. Now my laptop is saying "An error occured during port configuration.
The requested resource is in use." What do I do now?
👌🏽
no, i have nothing checked and none of the ports work
I have been having this problem for over a year! It took hours to print anything. This works! I love you! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for helping.
What's wrong or why when I click on CONFIGURE PORT it show me warning THIS OPERATION IS NOT SUPPORTED?
I did exactly what you said in the video and it worked. Thank you so much. This printerproblem almost drove me crazy. Yes, you're a true lifesaver.
If printer is set up as default printer ---then when i clicked on configure port..a window popped up saying This operation is not supported....Now my friend has this beause hers is not set up as default printer....this comes up for her but not with default printers
After 6 years still helping thank you 😄
Glad I could help
This tip solved my problem immediately without even a restart of the printer or laptop. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks! I really appreciate the person giving this solution to my problem. He had no accent was very articulate and very easy to understand because he was speaking slowly.
Thanx from a senior with hearing aids.
Ken
says an error has accrued when I try to configure, and that this operation is not supported.

me too....
Hi I did everything like you did in the video, came to the point of clicking on configure port but a dialogue window opened saying this operation is not supported. My printer is HP f300 and my OS is windows 10. Can you help me solve this problem please
I am having the same problem right now, were you able to solve it?
@@simranbrar1502 i am facing the same problem as well, did u figure it out?
Same
same here
same, and no help from the poster of this video .
What would we do without you. So simple and well explained. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Your advice helped with some added advice from one of the commenters below. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for the video. As many have stated, when I clicked "Configure Port," I got the pop-up window that stated "This operation is not supported." I then clicked the "Standard TCP/IP Port" and followed the rest of your tutorial. Afterward, I clicked "Run the troubleshooter," and it didn't recognize the new port. So I clicked back on the original port (WSD Port). Now everything works perfectly. It cleared the "Offline" error. Thanks again.
Glad to help...and glad to hear some viewers can figure things out using the framework of my tutorial, even if everything does not match 100% the video.
Ivory Tower i
Same here
It worked automatically. At first i was getting the same message that everyone else is posting about "not being supported" But after I created a new port and added the IP it worked great! THANK YOU!
Glad I could help
So how did you find the IP address ?
when i clicked on configure port... a window popped up saying This operation is not supported. Any ideas? Thanks
You have to create a new port that says "Standard TCP/IP Port" and follow the instructions from there. After that, you can do what he did in the video. Hope that helps!
Did that and it still says offline.

I had the same problem and finally just unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back in and the printer worked straight away. Technology!!?
YOu might have clicked when WDS port was selected
I just viewed the tutorial. I used it, step by step, to get my printer back on line. IT WORKED! I am the techno idiot so thank you so much.
You have know idea how long I have been trying to resolve this problem. A simple reset and done! Thankyou!
Just leaving a comment here to say this worked. My printer is a HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn, and I'm running Windows 10 64bit. I couldn't even get a test page printed before this. Thanks again for posting this! It's still helping people in the year 2020.
Great to hear.
This worked on my HP printer. Thank you so much sir!🙏🏾✨️
Glad it helped
When I click on 'configure port' it tells me 'An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported'. :/
I’m in the same boat
@@patrickfrancis5509 me too
Me too
Lifesaving video! I have a Brother wireless that while getting a bit older, still works well, except for all the times it is "offline." I've tried various fixes, reinstalled drivers, etc. IF these fixes work they are always temporary. This fixed my issue immediately. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
thanks man, way more helpful than the chat bot from the official manufacturer 😁
Finally an easy fix. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
thank' very much I was ready to broke the printer, 2 days traning every thing, and your video fix my problem

I can follow steps to 'Configure Ports' but when I left click the message says 'Operation not supported' .. 'An error occured during port configuration' ??
It won’t let me click on “configure port”. It says “An error occurred during port configuration”
same
Thank you very much for your knowledge! I added a new port and it’s working just fine.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much.. I dont know how my printer went to another port! I worked on this for 4 hours yesterday...wish i found your video earlier...thank you again!
You're welcome!
I've tried both checking and unchecking SNMP enabled box and the printer
remains in offline status. What else do you suggest to try?
I have an Epson ET and I followed your instructions but I couldn't continue after I clicked "Configure Port". A message would show me "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported." So I'm stuck :/ Any suggestions?
When I click configure port error occurred so what now
very good work sir! been search for years for this solution.
You're welcome!
What a luck I had to find this video but most important, what a luck for me that you did this video. Thank you 100 times.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much your video really helps me... God bless you more.

Really helpful video. Question. How can a software product make such a simple matter so complicated? Surely there could have been a button saying "Put printer online"
Seriously!!!! Why do they do this to us!
what if you get this "An error during port configuration. This port is not supported." thanks
absolutely brilliant Spent a lot of time trying to sort it and even contacted HP and they said technician could do it in 40 minutes + went on your site Bingo couple of minutes [erfect
You're welcome!
What to do sir if it said on configurated port its said is not supported.
When I click on Configure Port, I received an error message that says: Configure Port. An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported. How do I fix this, please? My Printer will not print, even though it says that it is connected and ready to print.
You my friend is a genius! Thank you so much
Glad I could help!

I followed steps, but didn’t restart the printer as status went back online, HOWEVER my application could not find any printers at all. Then I changed settings back and printer appeared offline again. So I did all steps to include restarting the printer, and now everything works properly.❤
I got "This operation is not supported.", reinstall driver fix this problem
thank you I tried every video about this problem and none of them worked and I listened to you and I did what you did and now my printer is back on line you are a genius !!!!! thank you

@@tardarsauce3355
1. find out the brand and model of your printer, go to their website and download the driver
2. uninstall the old driver, reboot computer, and install the one you just downloaded
if you don't understand what I'm talking about, please find someone has some computer knowledge to help you
Thank you, saved my printer.

For those of you who get messages like “This operation is not supported” I found out that if you right click on the printer that isnt working and click “remove device” then unplug the usb and plug it back in that should work!
Thank me later.
Thanks a lot, it really worked!
What if my printer is set up wireless?
Game changer. MUCH THANKS.
