It doesn't have inks, it has black toner only.
If it was previously printing, did the TONER lamp light up, suggesting it had exhausted? Maybe it ceased printing for some other reason. Is anything flashing, and might it reset if powered off and back on?
You can print a test page from it without computer input, by pressing the GO button 3 times. If that prints, you may have software problems on the computer. Uninstall the printer, and reinstall the drivers.
If that doesn't work, have you checked the connecting cable?

ABOUT HALF THE TIME, THE PRINTER DOESN'T GRAB PAPER TO PRINT, OR IT GRABS IT HALF-WAY. ONE THING IT MIGHT BE IS A LITTLE THING IN THE PAPER TRAY THAT HOLDS THE PAPER TIOGHT - PART OF IT BROKE OFF, SO THAT IT'S NOT SNUG IN THE TRAY. DO YOU SELL THAT LITTLE PLASTIC PART?? THANKS, R GEISLER
