# **Why is My Canon TR4700 Printer Offline?**

Before jumping into fixes, it's crucial to understand the root causes. Canon printers generally go offline due to:

### **1. Weak or Lost WiFi Connection**

If the network drops, the printer loses communication with the computer.

### **2. Incorrect Printer Settings**

If Windows or Mac has your Canon TR4700 set to "Use Printer Offline," it will not print.

### **3. Outdated or Corrupt Printer Drivers**

Driver issues are one of the most common reasons for printers showing offline.

### **4. USB Cable or Port Issues**

Loose or damaged USB cables can break the communication link.

### **5. IP Address Change**

Your router may assign a new IP address to the printer, causing the computer to lose track.

### **6. Print Spooler Service Errors (Windows)**

A stopped or stuck print spooler prevents printing.

### **7. Firewall or Antivirus Blocking**

Security programs sometimes block printers accidentally.

### **8. Firmware Glitches**

A temporary bug or freeze in the printer can lead to offline errors.

### **9. Device Sleep Mode**

If the printer is idle for too long, it may appear offline even though it is powered on.

Understanding the cause helps you apply the correct fix. Let’s now begin troubleshooting step-by-step.
