How to Print a Tracking Report: Printer Setup & Troubleshooting Guide

Last Updated: August 27, 2026

Printing a tracking report should be straightforward, but connection problems, offline status, Wi-Fi issues, or printer settings can sometimes prevent a report from printing correctly.

This guide explains how to print a tracking report and provides general information for common printer problems, including a tracking report not printing, a printer not connecting to Wi-Fi, a printer being offline, and basic printer setup.

This is an independent educational guide. It is not an official support page for any printer manufacturer.

How to Print a Tracking Report

If you have a tracking report available on your computer or online account, you can usually print it using your browser or document application's print function.

Basic steps

  1. Open the tracking report you want to print.

  2. Select the Print option.

  3. Choose the printer you want to use.

  4. Check the paper size and print settings.

  5. Select the number of copies.

  6. Click Print.

  7. Check the printer for the printed report.

If the report does not print, check whether the printer is connected, powered on, and selected as the correct printer.

Tracking Report Not Printing?

If your tracking report is not printing, the problem may be related to the printer connection, print queue, paper, ink or toner, driver, or printer settings.

Try these basic checks:

  • Make sure the printer is switched on.

  • Check whether the printer shows an error message.

  • Confirm that paper is loaded correctly.

  • Check the printer's ink or toner status.

  • Make sure the correct printer is selected.

  • Check whether another document can be printed.

  • Clear any stuck documents from the print queue.

  • Restart the printer and computer if necessary.

If other documents print successfully but the tracking report does not, check the browser, document format, or print settings used for the report.

Printer Not Connecting to WiFi

A wireless printer may stop communicating with a computer or network for several reasons.

If your printer is not connecting to WiFi, try the following:

  1. Check that your Wi-Fi network is working.

  2. Make sure the printer is within a reasonable range of the router.

  3. Confirm that the correct Wi-Fi network is selected on the printer.

  4. Re-enter the Wi-Fi password carefully.

  5. Restart the printer and router.

  6. Check whether the printer's Wi-Fi indicator shows an active connection.

  7. Try adding the printer again from your computer's printer settings.

Some printers have different wireless setup menus, so the exact steps can vary by model.

How to Connect a Printer to WiFi

To connect a printer to WiFi, open the printer's network or wireless settings and look for an option such as Wi-Fi Setup, Wireless Setup, or Network Setup.

Generally:

  1. Open the printer's network settings.

  2. Select your Wi-Fi network.

  3. Enter the Wi-Fi password.

  4. Wait for the printer to establish the connection.

  5. Confirm that the printer shows as connected.

  6. Add or select the printer on your computer.

  7. Print a test page.

If your printer supports a mobile or computer setup application, you may also be able to complete the wireless setup through that application.

Printer Setup

A basic printer setup normally involves connecting the printer to power, installing or selecting the appropriate printer software or driver, connecting the printer to a computer or Wi-Fi network, and printing a test page.

Before starting:

  • Place the printer near a suitable power source.

  • Load paper according to the printer instructions.

  • Check that ink or toner is installed.

  • Connect the printer to your computer or Wi-Fi network.

  • Install the appropriate software or driver when required.

  • Select the printer from your device's print settings.

  • Print a test document.

The exact setup procedure depends on the printer model and operating system.

Printer Offline

Seeing a printer offline message usually means that your computer cannot currently communicate with the printer.

Possible reasons include:

  • Wi-Fi connection problems

  • Printer switched off

  • Network changes

  • USB connection problems

  • Print queue issues

  • Printer driver problems

  • Printer selected as offline

  • Computer and printer connected to different networks

Check the printer's display or status indicators first. If the printer is connected through Wi-Fi, confirm that it is connected to the same network used by your computer.

Printer Offline Fix

For a basic printer offline fix, try these steps:

1. Check the Printer

Make sure the printer is powered on and ready.

2. Check the Connection

For Wi-Fi printers, confirm that the printer is connected to the correct wireless network.

For USB printers, check that the USB cable is securely connected.

3. Restart the Devices

Restart the printer and, if necessary, restart the computer.

4. Check the Print Queue

Open your computer's printer settings and check for documents that are paused or stuck in the queue.

5. Select the Correct Printer

Make sure the printer you want to use is selected as the active printer.

6. Check Printer Status

Look for error messages involving paper, ink, toner, network connectivity, or other printer conditions.

7. Check Software or Drivers

If the printer remains offline, check whether the appropriate printer software or driver is installed and up to date.

Printer Not Printing

If the printer is not printing, first determine whether the issue affects one document or every document.

Try printing a simple test document.

If the test document also fails:

  • Check the printer connection.

  • Check the printer status.

  • Check paper and ink or toner.

  • Review the print queue.

  • Restart the printer.

  • Check the printer settings.

  • Check the printer software or driver.

If only the tracking report fails to print, try opening the report again or using your browser's print option.

Printing a Tracking Report From a Browser

If your tracking report opens in a web browser, you can normally use the browser's print function.

Open the report and select the browser's Print command.

Before printing, review:

  • Selected printer

  • Page size

  • Orientation

  • Number of pages

  • Number of copies

  • Print preview

If the report contains multiple pages, check the print preview before sending it to the printer.

If the Tracking Report Opens as a PDF

If your tracking report is provided as a PDF, open the PDF using an appropriate PDF viewer and select Print.

Check the print preview before printing.

If the PDF does not print, try printing another document. This can help determine whether the problem is related to the PDF or the printer itself.

Common Printer Connection Problems

Printer problems can occur after:

  • Changing the Wi-Fi network

  • Changing the Wi-Fi password

  • Replacing a router

  • Updating a computer

  • Installing a new printer

  • Changing printer settings

  • Removing or reinstalling printer software

If the network configuration has changed, the printer may need to be connected to the new network again.

Summary

If you need to print a tracking report, first confirm that the printer is powered on, connected, and selected correctly.

If the tracking report is not printing, test another document to determine whether the problem is with the report or the printer.

For a printer not connecting to WiFi, check the wireless network and reconnect the printer if necessary.

If the printer is offline, check its connection, print queue, settings, and software.

Following these basic checks can help identify common printer and printing problems.
