I have changed my broadband provider and now my printer is permanently offline. I have installed my new provider with the password. How do I get my printer online. I have checked the printer in the control panel and 'offline' is not ticked and 'pause printing' is not ticked - the only tick is against 'Set Default printer'. So why of why is it still offline.

//I have uninstalled the printer but my computer now cant find the printer //
Have you done a fresh "install printer" set up and allowed pc to look for it? Are you sure that the printer and modem are talking to each other first? Use the Wizard set up(part of the Microsoft service) if you are using Microsoft. It does not need any install it is part of your operating system in settings.
Any chance of the information I asked you for?

It'll make answering your question a lot easier.
