Question by PUNNY POETRESS: PRINTER HELP: Some how or other I must have clicked on the wrong spot, but now both my printer and fax in …?
the Control Panel that they are “Offline”? How or what do I have to do to get them back “Online” so I can once again print things from my computer? Will be most grateful for the “Best Answer” !!
Was hoping phxmilitarymom and uppaluri k were correct but when I right click on the printer icon that is saying “offline” I DO get a choice to click on “Use Printer Online” but nothing changes ?/!
HELP !! Although I am appreciative of the 5 of you who have answered with helpful hints — none of them work ! So, any further ideas from you people — or I still welcome new answers– HELP !!

Reboot everything including the printer
Answer by jpesadilla
Right-click either device in the Printers window.
Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
If the printer is correctly connected to your computer/network then accessing the Properties page should re-establish the connection.
If not. Then start checking the obvious, is the printer ON, is it connected?
finally you might try Adding a new printer to recreate the connection.

Go into your Control Panel, open it and click on “Printers”. When that opens, right click while your curser is on the printer you use and a menu will pop up, select “Work Online” here and you are all fixed.

Answer by uppaluri k
Go to Printers & Faxes folder. Right click on the printer. You will see an option Work Online. This is toggle switch. When you click on this it becomes off line. If you again click on this off line it becomes online. That simple.

I run a small business and want to be able to use this when I travel. It is important that I can receive emails wherever I am. Are there small printers that you can travel with and print out your emailed documents? What about faxes-can you send a fax from your laptop and if so, how? What does it cost for a laptop that will do all this? Serious answers please.

There is no one-size-fits-all laptop out there. If you need to print, there are mobile printers. If you want to be able to receive a fax, I would suggest going to www.efax.com; but, if you are wanting to send faxes, there are very few mobile fax machines. Efax isn’t that expensive unless you are planning on sending a whole lot of pages. At that point you would want to email it anyway. If you are wanting to type a document and fax it without a signature, you can still type it. There are mobile scanners (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4210983&Sku=N199-1016) that you can use with efax. Here is a decent mobile printer: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4184079&CatId=2708. Carrying both of these plus a laptop would really make it a little less mobile. Unless you inted to do a lot of work from the laptop on MS Office or something else that is memory intensive, I’d get a netbook. Take the netbook into your meetings. Record everything with MS OneNote. Print anything you need to from the car where you can plug in the scanner and printer.
