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?

Just bought my second drum and installed it as specified. I followed the instructions where they say that we should clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left and left to right and return it to the original position. The cartridge I am using still had over 1,500 copies left yet the printer now does not print complete pages. It shows light horizontal lines here and there and only prints a dark line or two about 1/3 down on the page and the rest is clear. Never had this problem before as the HL 2040 has been very reliable. Appears to me that the roller does not complete the rotation. Most frustrating. Can some one Please help me?
