I have a Brother HL-2040 printer and a newish ASUS desktop computer with Windows 8. Printer worked fine for a while, but suddenly has gone "offline". I tried a replacement cable but no luck. The only significant change just before this happened was the installation of a new webcam.
I have tried going though Control Panel, and find that the printer is suddenly "offline."
I go to "See What's Priinting and try to uncheck "Use Printer Offline" but it is greyed out. Then I think click "Open As Administrator" and am able to unclick it, but still can't print anything. Windows says "Printer in an error state." At one point (can't remember exactly when) I got (erro 0x0000005).
I am not particularly computer savvy, and Windows 8 in particular often baffles me. I would really appreciate some help with this. Thanks1
