You can't connect a printer to a network offline. A network connection requires active communication between devices, and being offline means no communication is possible.
To connect your printer to a network, you need to make sure both your printer and your computer are connected to the same network. This can be done through a wired connection using an Ethernet cable or a wireless connection using Wi-Fi.
Here are some steps to connect your printer to a network:
- Make sure your printer is turned on and ready to connect.
- Connect your printer to your network using either an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
- On your computer, open the printer settings and select "Add Printer".
- Follow the on-screen instructions to add your printer to the network.
- Once the printer is added, you should be able to print from your computer.
If you're having trouble connecting your printer to your network, you can consult the user manual for your printer or contact the manufacturer for support.
