Why Is Your Epson Stylus Printer Offline?

Several factors can cause your Epson Stylus printer to remain offline:

1. Connection Issues

A loose cable, faulty Wi-Fi, or disconnected network can prevent your printer from communicating with your computer.

2. Printer Is Set to β€œUse Printer Offline” Mode

Windows or macOS may have automatically enabled the offline mode, stopping the printer from responding.

3. Outdated or Corrupt Printer Drivers

If the Epson printer driver is outdated or corrupted, it can cause offline errors.

4. Print Spooler Errors

A stuck print job or spooler issue may prevent the printer from functioning correctly.

5. IP Address Conflicts

For network printers, an IP address conflict can make the printer unresponsive.
