Explanation

Since other users can print to the same printer successfully, the printer itself (hardware, firmware, IP address, and network connectivity) is confirmed to be working. The problem is isolated to the specific user's workstation. The most common cause in this scenario is that the printer has been manually set to 'Use Printer Offline' in that user's print queue settings. Checking the print queue settings first targets the most likely user-specific configuration issue before escalating to broader diagnostics.
