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...won't work for Lenovo laptop or mac's....ever since the windows 11 update. There really needs to be a fix for this ASAP. Its extremely frustrating, the only way I can get mine to print or scan anything, is plugging it into my laptop. This is a major inconvenience.
I am just stated having the same issue with multiple printers all of a sudden. When you run the troubleshooter in windows it starts to work. They both ping fine. Im suspecting a windows update
Unfortunately the troubleshooting no longer works for me, it was when it first started & now it doesn't. My printer continues to say online & connected. This started right after my laptop updated to Windows 11 which seems to be the common denominator on the issue after reading so many others posts. My IT guy at work said its absolutely a windows 11 issue & microsoft needs to create the fix for it.
It was working fine with windows 11 until recently. I did figure out that restarting the print spooler in the services made it work.
Microsoft is like mold. It eventually takes control over everything; causes equipment, computers and software to falter or stop working completely. Then, they take away the ability for us to change settings to get things working again. Their 'support' suggestions never work. A Windows environment is NOT for the workplace, or anyone with computer knowledge beyond pushing the ON button, for that matter. Imagine if they had control over our vehicles!
Is there a virus worse than the Microsoft Virus?!
