Keeps on telling me that the printer is offline. even with the usb plugged in.

First check on the device and printer under control panel if the status of your printer is offline or ready. If it is offline check your usb cable if properly connected and if ready state then if you send print job set to offline try to reinstall the driver. hopefully it will help you.

Most recent printers want software installed first, please use your CD or go to http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=15601#DownloadDetailAct to get the software and driver for your operating system. During the installation it usually asks you to plug in the usb for detection. Give that a try.

It shows offline if the printer is not communicating. Initially open printers folder and right click the printer icon and check if "use offline" option is not ticked.if its ticked then un-tick it. if everything looks fine then:
1)first try unplugging printer from main power cord for a minute and then plug back in and check after refreshing if it becomes ready.
2)other thing to do is to remove the usb cable from behind the printer and plug back in after 45 seconds.
3)it is also quite possible that the usb port or cable might have gone faulty.in that case try replacing usb cable and check.
thanks ,keep updated and accept the solution.
