...to the network? Is the printer connected to a networked computer or is it separate and assigned a static IP address on the network? In order for it to be reliable, it needs to be one or the other and the tablet should be a workgroup computer, as well. The easiest way to get all networked computers to connect to the networked printers is to assure that each computer is correctly part of the Workgroup.
Hope this helps.

Seems like every time MS pushes a security update all of my network printers are shown as offline. Two questions: why? and what is a fast way to get my Fujitsu tablet quickly reconnected via WIFI with my Brother MFC-9130CW? This also happens with my HP Envy running 8.1.
