Step-by-Step Fix
How to Resolve HP Printer Offline Status on HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e. Follow the sequence below and stop if the device shows a hardware warning or electrical fault.
Restart the Spooler and Device
Turn off the printer, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on. On your Windows computer, search for "Services", find "Print Spooler", right-click and choose "Restart".
Ensure the printer is not connected via a Guest Wi-Fi network. Guest networks prevent local devices from communicating with each other.
Run HP Print and Scan Doctor
Download and run the official free HP Print and Scan Doctor tool. It automatically checks and corrects communication services, port mismatches, and status locks.
Configure a Static IP Address
Print a network configuration page to get your printer's IP address. Type this IP into any web browser. In the EWS (Embedded Web Server), navigate to Network > IPv4 and change the configuration from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual (Static). Add Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8) as DNS server.
