Do you have any other devices installed on the machine that are also
parallel (hard drive, CD/DVD drive, etc.)? This may cause this
reaction.
Is this a laser printer? The drum may not be holding a charge.
Are you sure the driver installed is the correct driver? That may be the issue as well.

It might be time to, but try these first:
(1) Try rebooting the computer (Press
Ctrl+Alt+Del>Shutdown>Shutdown OR press and hold the power button
down on the front of the workstation/computer/tower/CPU until the unit
turns OFF)
(2) If that doesn’t work, then try clearing the print queue:
Start>Settings>Printers>Double-click on the
printer>Right-click on the print job(s) and click
cancel/delete/purge documents and try reprinting a document
(3) If that doesn’t work, then try a power cycle: Try turning the
printer off, then unplug the power supply from the printer, then unplug
the USB cable from the printer then the back of the computer; wait 30
second; then plug the USB cable back into the computer, then back into
the printer then plug the power supply back into the printer and turn
it on – run a test print
(4) Run a Test Print: Start>Settings>Printers>Right-click on the printer>Properties>Print Test Page
