Ive had my printer for years and i've never had this problem. I've tried restarting. I click print and it says in my toolbar that my document is printing but it just doesn't print. The printer is on and i'm pretty sure it is connected. I really need to print out my essay. Anyone know how i can fix this?

Check your connections, then turn off your printer and computer and try again.

I understand that the print jobs are stuck in the queue..
Perform the below steps to resolve the issue..
Unplug the printer from the computer.
Turn off the printer
Click Start >> Open Printer and Faxes.
Double click on the printer icon >> Delete all the pending jobs
Perform the below steps to reset the spooler:
Click "Start" button on left side of the Desktop to popup Start menu, Click "Run" in Start menu to open Run window.
Type the word "SERVICES.MSC" (without quotes) in "Open :" box, click ok button or press Enter key on the keyboard.
A Window will pop up with so many Services listed.
Find "PRINT SPOOLER" service from the list of services.
Right-click on "PRINT SPOOLER"--->"Stop", right-click on "PRINT SPOOLER"--->"Start"
Again right-click on "PRINT SPOOLER"--->"Restart"
Please open printer and Faxes and see that there should be a check mark on the printer icon..
If you doesn't see a check mark >> Right click on the printer icon >> CLick on Set as default printer.
See that printer icon should show Ready status , If not Right click on the printer icon >> Click on Use printer online

Make sure your printer is still installed on your computer. Click Control Panel>Printers and Faxes and see if your printer is still there and marked as the default printer. If it's not there, you'll need to reinstall it by right clicking and selecting "Add printer".

First I would do some troubleshooting to see if the cables are attached right. Second I would make sure that you see the printer in your hardware in "my computer" and that it says it has the proper driver and is working properly.
When all is lost I would call the manufacturer of the printer
