Would be helpful to know which operating system you are using and whether there where any warning light flashing. For starters review the following solutions.
Printer Does Not Start or Stops During Print Jobs

Inner Cover was open when you started printing.

Close the Inner Cover and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer. The printer resumes printing.

Inner Cover was opened while printing is in progress.

Close the Inner Cover and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer.

A page of print data being sent at the time of the error will be erased, so print that page again.

The printer has been printing continuously over a long period.

If the printer has been printing continuously for a long time, the Print Head may overheat. To protect the Print Head, the printer may stop printing at a line break for a period of time and then resume printing.

In this case, interrupt your print session at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes.

Additionally, if the printer has been printing graphics or photos with intense colors continuously over a period of time, the printer may stop printing to protect the Print Head. In this case, printing will not resume automatically. Turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes.

The Print Head and the surrounding area can become extremely hot inside the printer. Never touch the Print Head or nearby components.

Out of paper.

Make sure that paper is loaded in the selected paper source.

Reload paper if no paper is found in the selected paper source (Auto Sheet Feeder or the Cassette).

If the same paper is loaded in the other paper source, you can switch the paper source with the Paper Feed Switch or the printer driver to continue printing.

If both paper sources have run out of paper, confirm the selected paper source and load paper there.

Printing documents with plenty of photographs or illustrations.

When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer or the computer is processing data. Printing large data such as photos or graphics takes time for the printer and the computer to process, during which the printer may appear to have stopped operating.

In addition, when printing data that uses a large amount of ink continuously on plain paper, the printer may pause temporarily. In either case, wait until the process is complete.

Note

If you are printing a document with a large printing area or printing multiple copies of a document, printing may pause to allow the ink to dry.

The power went out on my lexmark printer...cannot get it on again, What are my options?

Try another known working power cord. If that doesn't work, it's most likely an internal issue with the printer. There's not much else you can do unless you feel comfortable opening up your printer and testing the power with a voltmeter.

Be sure to remove the protective cover on the nozzle. Also clean the contacts on the PRINT CARRIAGE. Try to replace the ink, to isolate the problem.

Hi. That's quite a problem you have there. Have your attention first on the power supply. It does get hot but it's unusual if it gets very hot. Take out the power supply (the black box behind the printer where the power cord is attached). Check the power specifications. Most of the Lexmark power supply has input ranging from 120-240 Volts and an output of 30 Volts. Make sure you're plugging it in the right voltage range. Check if you're using power surge protectors or power strip, disconnect it and plug directly into a properly grounded wall outlet. Power surge protectors can also draw power away from the printer. When everything's well, try printing again. Hope this helps.

Canon IP3300 sunddenly lost POWER in the middle of printing

the piece of metal that connects to the power cable might have dirt on it, or it might have come loose from the printer's internal wiring, or a soldering joint in one of the chips might have come loose, and in that case you need to go to a specialist because there is no way that anyone but a specialist would be able to find a boken joint in the printer's myrad of circuts

Power Light Continues to blink.

if you are having issues after installing the new cartridges , then perform the following steps.

unplug the power adapter and remove both the cartridges and then power on the printer , look for the power light. if it does not blink then .
install the black cartridge first and then try to print , if it prints fine its ok. then remove the black cartridge and then put the color one in and then try printing or copying .

if it doesnot print with any either black/ color then you have to replace that particular caratridge..

lemme know once u r done....
