Check whether the option "Use printer offline" is unchecked on the settings page of your canon printer. Uncheck it and save it if it is checked. A faulty or outdated driver can also show such an offline error to your printer. In that case, update your printer driver to the latest.

If you're experiencing issues with your Canon printer on Windows 10, here are some steps to help you diagnose and potentially resolve the problem:

1. **Check Connections**:

   - Ensure that the printer is properly connected to your computer and that both the power and data cables are securely attached.

2. **Install the Latest Drivers**:

   - Visit Canon's official website to download and install the latest drivers for your specific printer model. Make sure to choose drivers compatible with Windows 10.

3. **Restart Your Printer and Computer**:

   - Turn off your printer and computer. Wait a few moments, then turn them both back on. This can sometimes resolve connectivity or communication issues.

4. **Run the Printer Troubleshooter**:

   - Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter for printer issues. To access it, go to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Troubleshoot," then select "Printer" and run the troubleshooter.

5. **Check the Printer Queue**:

   - Open the printer queue by searching for "Devices and Printers" in the Windows Start menu. Find your Canon printer, right-click on it, and select "See what's printing." If there are any pending print jobs, cancel or clear them.

6. **Set the Canon Printer as the Default Printer**:

   - Make sure that your Canon printer is set as the default printer. Go to "Settings" > "Devices" > "Printers & Scanners" and select your Canon printer as the default.

7. **Update Windows**:

   - Ensure that your Windows 10 is up to date with the latest updates and patches. Go to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Windows Update."

8. **Reinstall the Printer**:

   - In some cases, uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer can resolve issues. Go to "Settings" > "Devices" > "Printers & Scanners," select your Canon printer, and click "Remove device." Then, reinstall it using the latest drivers.

9. **Check for Software Conflicts**:

   - Ensure that there are no conflicts with other printer-related software or security programs. Disable or uninstall any third-party printer management software or security applications that might be causing problems.

10. **Contact Canon Support**:

    - If you've tried the above steps and the issue persists, consider contacting Canon's customer support for further assistance or visiting a Canon service center for professional help.

Remember that Canon printers may have specific troubleshooting steps or instructions provided in their user manuals or on the Canon website. Make sure to follow these resources for your specific printer model.
