Printer Not Working? - How to Fix Printer Problems on Windows 10 PC
Printers provide a great way of printing your important documents. But, a lot of users have complaint about seeing the Printer Offline status even especially after a Windows10 upgrade. This issue will, of course, prevent you from using the printer even if you have the proper and latest printer drivers. The problem can occur at any time but the chances are high if you recently upgraded to Windows 10. Most of the users have stated that the printer will work after a reboot but it will only work once and go back to the offline status. The printer might also just start printing randomly if there are items in the printing list.
The reason behind this is the Windows not recognizing the printer.
Tips
Make sure the printer is properly connected to the computer
Turn off your printer and turn it back on. Check if this solves the issue.
Make sure there isn’t a fault in your printer. Try to connect it to another PC and see if it works. If it doesn’t work on other PCs then there’s a problem with the printer and not your computer.
