How do i get my printer from offline mode back to online mode

  • Make sure that the printer is powered on.

  • Pull up 'My Computer' then click on 'Control Panel'. From the Control Panel, click on 'Printers and Faxes'. You will then see a list of Printers connected to the PC.

  • Delete pending print jobs to make sure that the correct document will be printed later and for you not to waste paper. Double click on the printer that you want to use, and a window will appear showing you a list of pending print jobs. Simply click on 'Cancel All Documents' from the 'Printer Menu'.

  • After you have deleted all pending print jobs, right click again on the printer icon and choose 'Use Printer Online'.

  • Try printing a test file, if it doesn't work the first time, reboot the PC.

Minolta Magicolor 3100 ... Printer sayes its online and ready to print. When i send a print job it spools it ok but when it goes to print it goes offline. I delete the print job and the printer is back...

Does the printer show any message on it's display ?

Most common problem with these printers is the driver setting (mostly media type/weight) conflicting with the settings made via the front panel menu's.

Printer goes offline but is pingable on Network

I would see what kind of data is being sent to the printer. If the spooler is trying to send some data to the printer that is outside of its limits, even a page break missing, it will do this. Also see how much data it is trying to send to the printer. If it overwhelms the printer, it will just give up until the spooler stops sending requests.
