asked Jun 22 '11 at 14:16 Peter 9311915 migrated from serverfault.com Jun 22 '11 at 14:25 This question came from our site for system and network administrators. Read our FAQ next time please. –Chopper3 Jun 22 '11 at 14:25 Have you tried rebooting? (I'm being serious) –slhck Jun 22 '11 at 14:28 @Chopper3: Seeing as you can ask questions about 'Desktop PCs that you maintain in the workplace' on ServerFault (quote from the faq, which I did read), I thought it was an OK place to ask. Fair enough. –Peter Jun 22 '11 at 14:50 @slhck: yes, these printers have been in the list for months. As I mentioned in my question, I have rebooted (but I used the word 'restarts', sorry for the confusion). I've even tried deleting them several times. –Peter Jun 22 '11 at 14:51 @Peter Oh, I somehow must have missed that, my bad. But basically, these printers are not physically there anymore, right? –slhck Jun 22 '11 at 14:53 | show 1 more comment 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted Found the solution myself, by accident.

Or more correctly, can you access the printer using the IP you gave it? If you can ping the IP does not mean that it's the printer repying, could be a coputer or any other device. How is it networked? Has it worked before? Does it work for others? How is it shared out? http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/29597-63-printer-shows-offline-delete-printer-print Related Resources Printer offline?

Get the answer nwetzelNov 17, 2011, 11:17 PM It's a networked printer with a static IP. If you delete the printer & re-add it you can print until you shut the computer down. Turn it on the next day & it shows offline again. I have another person reporting the same issue but with 3 different printers, all networked & static IP's. They can be installed by IP but that's not the way we want it done. hang-the-9Nov 18, 2011, 8:53 PM Is it happening on all the computers that print to that printer, or one? Does it show the "Use Printer Offline" option? When installing it directly by a new IP port to the printer this works with no issues? If yes it pretty much points to the server share as the issue, especially since this is happening with 3 other printers.Is it on a server share? Try different drivers for it? Update the firmware on the printer?

I didn't mention because I didn' think it would matter that I renamed the printers and am now in a bit of a quandry... I renamed the original printer that was giving me problems to Adobe WTF (the one I can't delete) and renamed (copy #4) to Adobe PDF, the rightful/correct name. So after running the spooler stop/start, I tried to delete the printer that still says deleting but now it warns that it can't be deleted because it is not named properly so, I try to rename the o
