Why is 가 used after 프린터?

가 is the subject particle. It marks 프린터 as the thing that is doing or experiencing the action: the printer is working.

In this sentence, 프린터가 feels natural because it presents the printer as the main subject being talked about right now.

A learner might compare it with 프린터는:

• 프린터가 다시 작동해요. = The printer is working again. / It’s the printer that’s working again.
• 프린터는 다시 작동해요. = As for the printer, it works again. This sounds more like a contrast or topic-setting sentence.

So 가 is the more straightforward choice here.

What does 다시 mean here?

다시 means again.

So it shows that the printer was not working before, but now it has returned to a working state.

It can also mean back or once more in other contexts, but here again is the most natural meaning:

• 다시 왔어요. = I came back.
