    Printer offline or refusing to print?

    If the printer has power and works mechanically, a connection or software issue may be something we can investigate remotely. Start by telling us the printer model and the exact message on screen.

    Individual support from $79 AUD for 60 minutes

    Check software and connections first

    A printer showing “offline” may be on a different network, using an old address or waiting behind a failed job. We can review the computer’s printer setup and guide you through safe checks.

    • Stuck jobs and the wrong default printer
    • Official manufacturer drivers and software
    • Wireless printer setup on an existing network
    • Scanner configuration and basic app troubleshooting

    Remote support has physical limits

    We cannot clear a paper jam, replace an ink cartridge or repair a worn mechanism remotely. Keep the manufacturer’s instructions handy for any physical checks. Do not disassemble the printer because a webpage suggests it.

    Avoid misleading driver-download sites

    Use the printer manufacturer’s own support website. Paid “driver updater” tools and phone numbers in ads can add cost without solving the underlying connection problem. If a work printer is shared through a server, your business administrator may need to assist.
