The print head is probably blocked.

It is also possible the print head itself has gone u/s. they do in hte main have a limited life and are often quoted by hte manufacturer as parts that need changing after so much use. however the cost of doing a print head change can be more than the printer is worth or even a new printer!

Hey ..Thanks
I never knew about print head.
I'll first try print head cleaning.

Agreed. Home printers rarely last more than a year or so.
