| | Re: printer offline Yes, printer is plugged in, on and connected. I unchecked use printer online but no luck. I am running a MS vista system using a HP Deskjet F380 all in one printer. Thanks for looking further!

| Vista Home Premium 32 | Re: printer offline after Hibernation Same problem - wireless Dell network printer comes up offline if it is powered off when Vista Home (SP1) boots or when Vista wakes up from Hibernation. Tried MS's Hot Fix - said it was already installed. According to my techie son, the printer spooler service is fouled up in Vista. We put the following batch program together to stop/start the service on the fly and presto, the offline printer comes right back online. No reboot needed. You must "Run as Administrator". You might want to add a "pause" (no quotes) at the end of the batch program to make sure it runs without any errors, them remove it after testing. Name the job anything you want .bat and put it on your desktop for easy access. Imagine, a DOS batch job fix for Vista! @echo off net stop "Print Spooler" net start "Print Spooler" |
