WiFi printer offline

I haven’t used my printer in awhile. It’s a Brother MFCJ1360DW. I tried to scan a document, but the GNOME document scanner reported “unable to connect to scanner”. Printing a page, there’s no response, but CUPS reports “Unable to locate printer”. The router config reports it offline. It’s been offline for awhile, and I’m wondering how to reactivate it? It’s not responding to the power button.

If it’s not responding to the power button, it sounds like a problem with the printer itself. Have you tried a different power cord? Try moving it to another outlet, or plugging something else into that outlet to make sure you have power there? Is there something blocking a door on the printer?

It wasn’t plugged in! Never mind.
