Printer Offline

Posted: 10-21-2003, 11:35 PM
Both of my printers have a status of "Offline" and I
cannot print to either one. How do I get the status back
to "Ready"? I have WinXP and I do have a network.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, There is no "Use printer offline" because the
printer IS offline already. There is a menu entry that
says "Use printer online". When I click on that I get a
dialog message that says, "Operation could not be
completed." Any ideas?

My network printers show that they are 'offline'.
However I can print with no problem.

When I right click a printer and choose 'use printer
online' I get this: 'operation could not be completed'.

Obviously this is mutually exclusive and errorneous
information. How do I get the printers to show their
accurate status of online?

Thanks.

I have a Brother combination Fax,copier,scanner, printer. Whenever I try to
print, I get an error message that says the printer is offline. I can still
copy and still receive faxes. Why can't I print?
