Hello, Open the start menu and click on the "printers and faxes" icon. This will open a window with the list of printers currently set up on your computers.
2. Double click on the icon of the printer you want to change to online. A pop-up window detailing all current print job will open.
3. Go to printer in the menu bar of the pop-up window and unchecked "use printer offline". This action will change the printer from offline to online mode.
Thanks

I assume it's turned on and connected to the router.
Sometimes with DHCP, the IP address on the printer will change. I end up going into the router table to see what IP addresses are assigned where. Invariably I'll find my network printer has changed. Find the printer and write it down.
In Windows, Go into Printers> choose the Brother and right click to check Properties. Look for Ports and change the IP address as needed. It will come back online.
