Go to DEVICES and PRINTERS
Select your model and Right-click for a drop down menu
you will find Maintenance ... There will be Options such as Align Print, Clean, Clean Black, Clean Colours, Print Test Page etc!
Choose any one of them . it'll use up some ink.
Some printers' Status or Monitor Programs GUESS at the amount of ink you have used by having a count of the copies you have printed ... it doesn't know how much ink you have. Some of them SNEAKILY stop printing until you buy New Cartridges. You can bypass that ... search the internet quoting your make and model of printer.
Open a Paint program and make up an A4 sheet of coloured blob shapes and some text in Black and Red, Blue and Yellow and Save it to your DESKTOP and name the file Print-test Page.
Anytime you have a problem, One click shows what the supposed problem is .. if your Test page prints.
In the Preferences section of your Print window, just check you haven't selected A5 instead of A4, just in case
