Hi MythBuster41!

So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know any error messages you're seeing, and the Computer Operating System you're using (Windows XP/Vista/7/8 or Mac 10.x), as well as the way you connect to your device (USB or networked via WiFi or Ethernet).

Any other details you'd like to give will only help the Community better understand your issue!

If this is an urgent support need, please CLICK HERE to reach our friendly Technical Support Team by phone or email.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hard connection.

Laptop directly to printer.

Printer is reading - PRINTER IS OFFLINE.

 

Still trying to connect.... keeping getting an Admin reader - saying I need USER NAME & PASSWORD.

 

It's hardline connected. I rebooted yesterday.

 

Laptop shows the printer. Shows it as the default. Show that it's IDLE.

 

Then you go to print and it says "OffLine" -- see if printer is connected.

 

Please help.
