In control panel, start the printers applet, then right click on your printer and click on properties.
Next, go to the maintenance tab and do a deep clean on the printhead.
Once this is complete, do a check for clogged nozzles and if the pattern has gaps or no print, try another cleaning cycle.
If you still get no printing after three cleaning cycles, chances are your print head has failed or the cartridges have failed.
If you can remove the printhead, try soaking it in warm water for 10 minutes, dry it thoroughly and reinstall it. Do a printhead alignment and try printing again.
If this does not work, replace the printhead or cartridges or the entire printer.

Acts like it's printing, ink is good, but nothing prints out on paper.

Nothing at all? Poor you are. The pump may damage or lost electricity.

Have you removed the tear off tape from top of cartridges, it lets the air in and ink flows.

I press print. It acts all busy and loud. Prints NOTHING

If paper is feeding through and you don't get any errors try this: Try doing 4 to 5 head cleans, wait about 10 hours for the ink to soften and do another 3 or 4 cleans with a nozzle check after each. You should see a gradual improvement in the nozzle checks. If there is no improvement then you need a head cleaning solution such as this one:

Others are available just try googling "inkjet head cleaning".
Hope this helps.

Acts like it is printing but nothing comes on the paper

Try the following the intensive cleaning info in this rescue kit to regain print quality. There is also a known issue with some CX machines where a pipe gets blocked and the ink in the head can't flow. This is covered in this other rescue kit info.

Canon i250 printer

I need more details.  Does it act like it's printing and the paper comes out blank?  Does the paper come out at all?  Or does do nothing?
