  • Are you out of ink? Does your printer notify you of that? When did you last change the cartridge?
  • Replace the printer.

    You could try some of maintenence functions, ie. nozzle check, printhead cleaning, if your printer supports them. Which model is it and how old is it? If it's a rather aged printer TS's advice might be the way to go considering how inexpensive they are.

    I would be tempted to change the print heads/cartridges. Failing that, run the maintenance functions as already said.
