Cannot print. Printer status reads "offline"
HP 7410 all in one has worked reliably for years until recently. I run windows 7 professional. I have deleted all software and reinstalled drivers and software. Each time it works again. Sometime right away, or by the next day. Then perhaps a power outage or surge, common in Florida, causes same problem to recurr. It is connected directly to computer via USB cable. It will not print "offline" but will recieve and send fax.
I realize a power back up battery device would help with power outage but this never happened over past 4 years before.
It has become a real pain to keep deleating and reinstalling software and driver.
