This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.

Try and isolate the problem first... can other users hit that printer, or can no one print from that printer. If it's just one user/pc, I'd be thinking connectivity problem from that user's pc, or a rights and permissions issue. If no one can, I'd be thinking a printer connectivity problem, or printer service/ hardware problem.\n\n\nFirst thing is check the simple stuff. Is the target printer on? Online? Everything closed (no open panels)?\n\nIf it's shared, is the target pc it's connected to on? Does that PC have a connection to the network at present? If it's a networked printer, does it have a connection?\n\nCheck power on/ power cables for printer (and pc if shared). Check if printer online. Check connectivity for the pc (if shared) by pinging that pc, or having that pc ping another one on your network segment. If networked, ping the printer's NIC card.  \n\nIf it's a connectivity problem, check the ipconfig settings for the pc or printer (is it getting an IP addy, right subnet mask, etc), ping loopback addy for NIC functionality, etc.\n\nIf the printer is online and appears to have connectivity at both ends (make sure the user has connectivity as well), then start troubleshooting the printer... jam, too large a file in the print queue, corrupt file in the queue, etc.

Time for a new printer maybe.\n\nIf there is no power to the printer then its either the printer, the power cable or the socket.\n\nolder printers often have a power switch on the back- check that.\n\nPlug it into a different power socket and see.\n\nTry another power cable and see.\n\nBasically if its the cable or the printer you may as well buy a new printer as a replacement cable can be expensive.

This must be problem with print head. Nothing wrong in the computer or printer driver. Clean the print head with distilled water and lint free clean cloth. Instead of water some solvent like Diluted Iso propile alcohol or Ammonia solution may work better. Try it. Hope your problem will resolve.\n\nBy the way "How frequently you use your printer?" The problem with all kind of inkjet printers are if not in regular use, the head gets dried up and all its nozzles are getting clogged up with dry ink.

I have seen this happen before with HP deskjets and I reinstalling the printers drivers did the trick each time.\n\nTry to get the most recent drivers of the printer manufacturers website.\n\nGood luck!

Try doing repetative cleanings with the software...sometimes twenty times.\nyou could try to clean the printhead with alcohol....if it built in to the printer...take alcohol soaked paper towel and lay inside to run printhead over.\nIf that don't work then you may have a bad printhead.\n\nWhich most printers are disposable nowadays.

not sure what kind of printer you have, but some printers have a refresh button, try that.
