Customer asked about HP offiecjet Pro 8020 series printer.
I purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8020 printer, which is connected successfully to my network. However, when I try to print from my laptop, it says HP Officejet 8020 series offline. Even though I tried some troubleshooting to fix this, nothing worked for me. At last, I deleted the printer and uninstalled the printer from my laptop. When I added the printer again, it kept saying printer offline even though my HP Officejet pro 8020 printer appropriately connected with the Wifi. So can anyone tell me how I can fix my HP 8020 offline problem?
