● The system is experiencing difficulties due to the print jobs in the queues.

● Printing is hampered by a Windows OS print driver that is out-of-date and incompatible.

● An offline message is shown on your Xerox printer because you manually set it to operate offline.

● Resetting or restarting your Xerox printer is required for minor technical issues.

● Your printer is offline as a result of the activated SNMP status (Simple Network Management Protocol).

The best ways to fix offline errors are covered in this section. All of these steps must be taken exactly as described here. You can stop troubleshooting once the issue has been resolved. Let’s do it now.
