I got a new Cannon PIXMA MP495 and i'm using vista in laptop & windows 7 in desktop..My printer often goes offline when print is given..I'm not too sure what could be the reason..I'm finding it difficult to print..If anyone have the solution for this kindly let me know Thanks, Barani
For Vista wireless setup: Open your Control Panel. Choose Printers. In the Printers box it lists your printers. Hover over the wireless printer icon, right click, choose Run as Administrator, then choose Use Printer online. This should change the status of the printer to Ready (from Offline). Be sure you've chosen this printer as your default printer. Might have to do this on a regular basis.
Generally, Two main reasons for your canon printer to be offline :
1. Your printer is not set by the standard, so you need to warn your pooler.
2. The sleep/snooze duration is very short, which is why it goes offline if the printer is off for a short time.
I'll talk about how to manually make your Conan printer online. Follow the instructions given carefully for Change Printer from Offline to Online on Mac and Windows 10:
Step 1: Tap on your computer's "Windows" button and go to your computer system control panel.
Step 2: Tap "Devices and Printers," this will take you to a section that lists your printer. Check for the name of your printer and right-click. Make sure your printer has been configured as the default printer from the drop-down screen. When confirmed, go down and see the "Use Printer Offline" option, uncheck and save the settings if this feature has been tested. Reboot your printer and see if it solves the problem.
