How to Change a Printer from Offline to Online
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.

Thank you very much.
Thank you so much. Very helpful tutorial.
unfortunately, in the configure port section, I'm not able to click and get an error message that the function is not supported. Was hoping I could follow these steps but can't! 🙁
Very useful video
Thanks for the video tho, didn't work for me but technology…😮💨this is the worse printer I ever had, it disconnects all the time every now and then from wifi, same with the online/offline status, it change every in the hell time the printer wants very random thing. Many times I got to do all the wifi setup configuration over and over again, this printer sucks, and costumer services support is a joke. Now is been offline for days and I can't get it to work again just staying in offline mode. Fuck this printer. A lot of waste of time. Even with the damn cable connected from printer directly to laptop it says Printer Offline, are you kidding me. What tf is this piece of shit of technology.
It’s not allowing me to click configure port. Last time it did, so I know this works lol.
After 5years your video still helpful my printer worked lol as soon as i clicked properties lol awesome
thanks sir
I am always apprehensive about installing something new, but Hewlett-Packard made it easy. I am very impressed with the quality of printing. Easy Easy!

I'm stuck at the configure port part, where it says "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported." How do I fix this?
What would we do without you. So simple and well explained. Thanks so much.
what if you get this "An error during port configuration. This port is not supported." thanks

Thank you! that's a very helpful tuto

Port config enable
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"
Thank you!!
Sorry but it did not work. Printer says Default, Offline It does not show how to go online. There is no button that changes its status.
Thank you so much
An error occurred during port configuration
This operation is not supported . This is the Messge showing ??
Before doing these steps, be sure the printer cable (from the computer to the printer) is connected. My housekeeper accidentally disconnected it, lmao
