Printer keeps going "offline" Windows 11

My printer has worked fine until a month or two. Since then it keeps going offline. I have updated software drivers etc. I need to poke around with troubleshooters etc every time to get it to work. It's then fine for that session but the problem comes back every time i turn it off. Is there any solution to this?

    Same problem here. The only thing that works for my is to unplug the printer then plug it back in.

    Bill G's version of "Plug and Print".

    I had a user with this problem and his was that he was on a PUBLIC network instead of PRIVATE.

    I uninstalled my HP printer and then removed EVERYTHING I could find in Apps that was anything to do with HP. I then installed it as if it was a new printer and downloaded the latest available software. I have my fingers crossed but so far it is working...
