When I try to print, it goes to "use printer offline." When i uncheck it, I get a error status printing.

I tried rebooting, pulling USB cable in and out. I'm using windows XP(home) on a dual core AMD 4200 computer with 2G memory.
Answer:

The printers probably going offline because it might not be connected properly, although youve stated you have unplugged and plugged back the USB cord. Try this. Go to START > CONTROL PANEL > PRINTERS & FAXES Look at your printer icon, the printer your printing to, and check to see if the printer is (see through/translucent/faded) while it is plugged. This tells you that USB connector might not be functioning correctly and you might need to further investigate whether you have a faulty USB port , or cable. Hope this helps!
