Solution 1: Ensure Your Brother Printer Is Set as Default

If your printer is not chosen as the default printing device, then it can show some problems during the connection or show offline after the connection is complete. As a result, follow the steps below to resolve the issue quickly.

First, you should access the control panel window on your Windows PC.
After that, navigate to the Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers page.

Check if there is a green checkmark next to your printer’s icon.
If the right-check mark does not appear on the screen, then right-click on the printer name and select Set as default printer option.

Now, check if the printer is able to connect to your WiFi network.

Solution 2: Delete Print Jobs Stuck in Queue

Follow the instructions below to delete the print job stuck in the queue on your printer to fix the issue.

Go to the Settings menu on your device and then select Bluetooth & devices.
After that, you should choose the Printers & scanners option.
Then, look for your printer model and right-click on it.
From the list box, click on the “See what’s printing” option.
Next, ensure you are in the Printer tab and click on Cancel All Documents.

If the above option is greyed out, then you need to select the Open as Administrator option.
Now, after choosing the cancellation process, check if the printer is still offline.
Also, move to the next step to fix the issue if it is still offline.

Solution 3: Check Your Printer Status

Follow these steps to check if your printer is ready or still idle.

Initially, make sure that your printer is on. If other devices are connected to your PC, then only connect the printer with which you are having issues.
On your PC, go to the Control Panel window and then navigate to the Devices and Printers option.
Then, hover your mouse over your Brother printer icon to view its status.

If it shows Ready, then the printer is already connected and ready to use.

Solution 4: Restart Your Device

If you are unable to figure out why your printer is offline, then follow the steps below to complete the restart process.

First, you need to turn off the printer and unplug the power cord and any USB cables from the printer and computer.
After that, leave everything untouched for a few minutes.
Now, you need to attach all the cables and turn the printer on.

After using these solutions, there is a high chance that your printer will be out of the offline state. Now, you can follow the steps to reconnect it to your computer.
