Sometimes we receive an office email from a native English speaking HR Admin as follows [as an example]:
We are currently experiencing issues with printer.....
Then sometimes later a follow-up email comes in as follows:
This issue should now be resolved and you should be able to ....
Question: Should the above follow-up email say This issue has now been resolved ...
or it's ok to what Admin's follow-up email says. It could be that I, being a non-native English speaker, missing something here.
NOTE: I'm not a native English speaker

I have adjusted the printer settings/refilled the paper tray/changed the toner and the issue should now be resolved/you should be able to print now.
