Title: HP Printer Status Offline On shared Computer
Post by: Nic on July 15, 2016, 06:22:15 AM

Hi,
I have 2 PC’s running windows 7 ultimate in my office and both are connected to my Internet router through Ethernet Cable. PC-1 is directly Connected to Printer. I used to print out from both PC’s in past, now our office is moved to a new location and I have done the setup again. But now I am unable to print out from PC-2.  In (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers) PC-1 shows Printer online but PC-2 Shows Printer offline. I don’t know what to do. Help me out please. (English is not my native language I hope you can understand my issue).

I'd delete the shared printer from PC2 and then create a new shared printer connection from PC2 to PC1's shared printer.
