- How to turn offline printer online in Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.
There are many reasons why a printer can go offline; they range from connectivity issues to a powered-down printer. Most of the time, you can bring the printer back online with a few clicks in Windows, but if not, there are additional troubleshooting steps you can take.
1. Reboot your printer by shutting it off and turning it back on again. Give the unit a minute or two to finish booting.
2. Verify that the printer is plugged in to your computer (for local printers) or that it has network connectivity. If the printer is a networked unit, double-check the link light on the back of the printer to make sure it’s flashing green.
3. Log on to your computer using an account that has “Manage Printers” rights to the printer. In most cases, a local administrator account is sufficient.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

NO it only made it more confusing
unfortunately my computer keeps saying that configuration is not supported smh
No, you did not. Now my laptop is saying "An error occured during port configuration.
The requested resource is in use." What do I do now?
👌🏽
no, i have nothing checked and none of the ports work
I have been having this problem for over a year! It took hours to print anything. This works! I love you! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
I did exactly what you said in the video and it worked. Thank you so much. This printerproblem almost drove me crazy. Yes, you're a true lifesaver.
This tip solved my problem immediately without even a restart of the printer or laptop. Thank you.
You're welcome!
It worked automatically. At first i was getting the same message that everyone else is posting about "not being supported" But after I created a new port and added the IP it worked great! THANK YOU!
Glad I could help
So how did you find the IP address ?
Thank you so much for the video. As many have stated, when I clicked "Configure Port," I got the pop-up window that stated "This operation is not supported." I then clicked the "Standard TCP/IP Port" and followed the rest of your tutorial. Afterward, I clicked "Run the troubleshooter," and it didn't recognize the new port. So I clicked back on the original port (WSD Port). Now everything works perfectly. It cleared the "Offline" error. Thanks again.
Glad to help...and glad to hear some viewers can figure things out using the framework of my tutorial, even if everything does not match 100% the video.

Same here
Thanks! I really appreciate the person giving this solution to my problem. He had no accent was very articulate and very easy to understand because he was speaking slowly.
Thanx from a senior with hearing aids.

Thanks for helping.
What's wrong or why when I click on CONFIGURE PORT it show me warning THIS OPERATION IS NOT SUPPORTED?
You have know idea how long I have been trying to resolve this problem. A simple reset and done! Thankyou!
I just viewed the tutorial. I used it, step by step, to get my printer back on line. IT WORKED! I am the techno idiot so thank you so much.
After 6 years still helping thank you 😄
Glad I could help
If printer is set up as default printer ---then when i clicked on configure port..a window popped up saying This operation is not supported....Now my friend has this beause hers is not set up as default printer....this comes up for her but not with default printers
What would we do without you. So simple and well explained. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Lifesaving video! I have a Brother wireless that while getting a bit older, still works well, except for all the times it is "offline." I've tried various fixes, reinstalled drivers, etc. IF these fixes work they are always temporary. This fixed my issue immediately. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Just leaving a comment here to say this worked. My printer is a HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn, and I'm running Windows 10 64bit. I couldn't even get a test page printed before this. Thanks again for posting this! It's still helping people in the year 2020.
Great to hear.
Hi I did everything like you did in the video, came to the point of clicking on configure port but a dialogue window opened saying this operation is not supported. My printer is HP f300 and my OS is windows 10. Can you help me solve this problem please
I am having the same problem right now, were you able to solve it?
@@simranbrar1502 i am facing the same problem as well, did u figure it out?
Same
same here
same, and no help from the poster of this video .

Same

SAME.....THIS VIDEO IS 100% WORTHLESS
Same
me too....
when i clicked on configure port... a window popped up saying This operation is not supported. Any ideas? Thanks
You have to create a new port that says "Standard TCP/IP Port" and follow the instructions from there. After that, you can do what he did in the video. Hope that helps!
Did that and it still says offline.

I had the same problem and finally just unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back in and the printer worked straight away. Technology!!?
YOu might have clicked when WDS port was selected
Your advice helped with some added advice from one of the commenters below. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
For those of you who get messages like “This operation is not supported” I found out that if you right click on the printer that isnt working and click “remove device” then unplug the usb and plug it back in that should work!
Thank me later.
Thanks a lot, it really worked!
What if my printer is set up wireless?
I can follow steps to 'Configure Ports' but when I left click the message says 'Operation not supported' .. 'An error occured during port configuration' ??
thanks man, way more helpful than the chat bot from the official manufacturer 😁
When I click on 'configure port' it tells me 'An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported'. :/
I’m in the same boat
@@patrickfrancis5509 me too
Me too
I've tried both checking and unchecking SNMP enabled box and the printer
remains in offline status. What else do you suggest to try?
thank' very much I was ready to broke the printer, 2 days traning every thing, and your video fix my problem
I tried many options to get my printer back on line. This method worked. Thanks
Glad it helped
This worked on my HP printer. Thank you so much sir!🙏🏾✨️
Glad it helped
Really helpful video. Question. How can a software product make such a simple matter so complicated? Surely there could have been a button saying "Put printer online"
Seriously!!!! Why do they do this to us!
Gosh... why so many down votes ? its WOKRS .. for days i was worrying what the hell is going on with my printer... but now works fine, thx :)
Thank you so much.. I dont know how my printer went to another port! I worked on this for 4 hours yesterday...wish i found your video earlier...thank you again!
You're welcome!
I have an Epson ET and I followed your instructions but I couldn't continue after I clicked "Configure Port". A message would show me "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported." So I'm stuck :/ Any suggestions?
When I click on Configure Port, I received an error message that says: Configure Port. An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported. How do I fix this, please? My Printer will not print, even though it says that it is connected and ready to print.
It won’t let me click on “configure port”. It says “An error occurred during port configuration”
same
absolutely brilliant Spent a lot of time trying to sort it and even contacted HP and they said technician could do it in 40 minutes + went on your site Bingo couple of minutes [erfect
You're welcome!
what if you get this "An error during port configuration. This port is not supported." thanks
Finally an easy fix. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
I'm stuck at the configure port part, where it says "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported." How do I fix this?
I followed steps, but didn’t restart the printer as status went back online, HOWEVER my application could not find any printers at all. Then I changed settings back and printer appeared offline again. So I did all steps to include restarting the printer, and now everything works properly.❤
When I click configure port error occurred so what now
Perfectly clear instructions but I have a problem. When I get to the “configure port” step, I get an error and can’t get to the next “SNMP” step. Any suggestions?
Same
Good job and just what I have been needing to know, but...…...In Windows 10 home you cannot get administrative privileges', and so I get a an error message "this operation is not supported" when I uncheck configure port. It is checked on a WSD port with my HP Envy in a column.
What to do sir if it said on configurated port its said is not supported.
What a luck I had to find this video but most important, what a luck for me that you did this video. Thank you 100 times.
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much for your knowledge! I added a new port and it’s working just fine.
Glad it helped!

thank you I tried every video about this problem and none of them worked and I listened to you and I did what you did and now my printer is back on line you are a genius !!!!! thank you
How do I do that?
@@tardarsauce3355
1. find out the brand and model of your printer, go to their website and download the driver
2. uninstall the old driver, reboot computer, and install the one you just downloaded
if you don't understand what I'm talking about, please find someone has some computer knowledge to help you
very good work sir! been search for years for this solution.

I tried, and it worked. That exactly what I was looking for. You are the best.

Thank you so much but in my case when I clicked on configure port I got this message " An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported. What van I do now? I appreciate your help..
This is the same advice given on other videos. Unfortunately the 'configure' command isn't allowed for many of us, so no help unfortunately.
Thank you, saved my printer.
You're welcome!
What a most helpful video! It instantly fixed an annoying, on-going problem I've been having with a new Lexmark multi-function printer I'd bought recently. Thank you.

great dear... i solved my printer problem . thanx dear. carry on for videos like this... God bless you.
Happy to help
Perfectly clear and super helpful instructions!!!! Thank you!!!! I applied at work.
I followed your instructions, but when I click on the configure port, I get an error message stating that "An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported." Any suggestions? Thank you for sharing. I was so hopeful. Printer was working perfectly fine yesterday. Now my laptop is telling me that it's offline, but it's not a wireless printer. My printer is an HP LaserJet 2055dn.
I am also facing this issue, but my printer is an HP Inktank wireless 410 series
Finally a video that helped cause this was pissing me tf off
Glad to help!
Your video is great but when I got to the part to click on configure port I got this message: An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported. Now what???? HELP
same. :/
Video is great. Once I got to the configure port an error popped up
Hi, i have been doing the step by step in your video and when it comes to configure port i am getting a msg saying "no item to be set for this port...what am i doing wrong?
My ts3300 worked fine till last night then as I printed it suddenly stopped and says E-01 error and says it still can be used for "non-printing"
I can't get it to come back online and it keeps saying to contact epson tech support. So...even though this may be directed to canon, the epson isn't too different is it?
Just saying it's weird that it worked perfectly then now refuses to do anything. I have no internet at my home, so to hook it up we had to find Wi-Fi of some sort to turn it on at first. I hope it isn't needed to use web to fix this error too otherwise I'm screwed. I don't even know what to look for to fix it even if I had web
Awsome, just simple click and bring the pre configured printer back online
You're most welcome
Thank you so much for your helpful vidéo it’s simple clear and effective 🎉
Glad it helped!
At work and thos helped me alot thank you 🤦🏾♀️ thought I broke the printer lol
Glad I could help
What I did for my Konica Minolta C353 to Connect again:
I did what you described in your video.
But the problem was that the "Wire" connecting the Printing machine and the Router wasn't creating a connection.
So, 1st) I unplugged the wire and Plug it back again in the router.
and 2nd) I tick the checkbox ✅ [SNMP Status Enabled] again. and everything was fixed.
Game changer. MUCH THANKS.
You're welcome!
Hi,
I have Brother MFC490CW printer on Win 10 PC and it stopped printing all of a sudden. May be some updates caused a problem. I can print copies, scan but cannot print from my computer.
I followed your instructions but it won't let me open Port configuration box. Error comes. Any help you can render? I have put it to my old computer running Win7 Pro.
My "Configure Port" button is grayed out - no response. what now?
same here, how did you solve it?
Same
Damn same here. Did you guys solve this issue?
My Canon TR4520 does not allow 'Configure Port', says, 'The operation is not supported'
