printer offline every morning. turn it off and on again is not a strategy

lol this thread is gold

@joon_solid thank u this worked!!. following, having teh same problem thank u thank u thank u

make a backup befroe u touch teh settings, learned that teh hard way good luck man!

ahh classic make sure Use Printer Offline isnt tikced in the queue windows Printer menu. It sounds silly, but updates and stuck jobs can toggle it. lmk how it goes

oof this.. 🔥 so much this worked for me anyway 🤷

🔥

ok update: did what @clara_late said and its fine now cant believe it was that simple lol

oh ive been there lol if it started with the PIXMA MP500 Printer Drivers update, try teh vendor's full package or the previous version from their support page. u can also remove the driver entirely in Print Management (printmanagement.msc, Pro editions) or via Print server properties > Drivers and reinstall. worked for me anyway 🤷

@threadhound what did u end up doing in the end ?

the real fix was the friends we made along the way

page 1 lets gooo

try turning off the firmware first, fixed it for me good luck man!

for me it was the router... swapped it and boom, fixed. ok this thread just saved my weeeknd hope that helps :)
