SYMPTOMS
When you try to print a Web page to a network printer while you are using
Dial-Up Networking to connect to another computer, you may be unable to
print successfully. Also, the printer status may be listed as User
Intervention Required - Use Printer Offline.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:
- You can not print to a network printer that is on a different subnet
than the subnet of your Dial-Up Networking connection.
- Your printer is set to Offline mode.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use the following steps:
- Navigate to the appropriate Web site, and then print the Web page or
pages you want to your network printer.
NOTE: Click OK if you receive any printing error messages.
- Quit your Dial-Up Networking connection.
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
- Right-click the network printer, and then click Use Printer Offline to
remove the check mark.
- Press F5 to refresh your printer's status, and then close the Printers folder.
