Why My Brother Printer Offline On Windows 10?

In some situations, you may face Brother Printer Offline issues. When it happens while you are trying to print an important document, you will be all the more frustrated. Your Brother printer might go to the offline status because of a Windows update or a wireless connection issue with the router you are using. Whatever the cause may be, your Brother printer has to be brought back online.

• First, try restarting your Brother printer and wait for 1 to 2 minutes.
• When the printer is completely ready, check all its connections.
• For a wireless connection, confirm that the Brother Printer is connected to the correct network. When the Printer is properly connected to the network, the wireless light on the printer will be lit solid.
• For a USB connection, confirm that the USB cable is connected properly between the Windows 10 computer and the Brother printer.
• If you find that all your connections are proper and secure, try performing a test print.

If the offline issue does not get fixed even after executing the above steps, turn your attention to your Windows 10 computer and follow these steps:
