Why doesn't my printer print?

Question

I haven’t been working with my printer since 3 years ago and now that I hocked it up,installed it and every thing. it doesn’t print….when I press print some times I hear the printer working but nothing happens and sometimes the paper goes throw it and comes out the other side blank…..and sometimes it doesn’t do any of these and just pops up that printing fail!!!!What should I do? I have heard if the head is damaged the printer doesn’t print. What part of the printer is it? And what does it do?

Answer 1

after three years the print head is incredibly dry.
if the print head is integrated into the unit, IE the printer takes ink tanks replace the printer, if the cartridges have a print head one them you can just replace the cartridge.

Answer 2

You probably need new ink. But I agree with the above post; just get a new printer. They're cheap.
