Printer is Offline / Printer Won't Print FIX.
Most of the network devices has SNMP support, and responds to queries made over that with the pertinent information related to the query. However, not all network devices have this particular protocol used to communicate and establish connections as well. If your printer does not implement SNMP, but other users send a printing query over that protocol, the network printer’s status will show up as offline.
Printers work offline when they have a hard-line connection to the computer holding the document. The printer requires a means of communicating with the computer so it can read and transmit from the hard-drive to the print function. The printer itself does not have a hard-drive and cannot perform without a means of viewing your document. Bringing a printer online means it can print documents without a direct connection to the computer. The document is transmitted through the remote connection while the printer reads and prints.
