Can not get the printer to answer (Dell P703w) printer is turned on, is recognized by the computer as the default printer, but when I try to print a page - nothing happens

Printer is turned on, is recognized by the computer as the default printer, but when I try to print a page, I get nothing. Have you tried "Troubleshooting" and it says I have 3 items in the quieh that prevent printing?
