    uninstall all drivers for the printer and re-set up and see if that works. Could be a firewall restriction issue.

    Maybe the cables damaged? Or you've ran out of ink/paper

    By the looks of this video, your not the only one with this problem :(

    thankyou

    i took all cables out of the back of pc and printer
    gave pc a good clean with an airline (was very dusty)
    put it all back together
    and it seems to be working
    (fingers crossed)
