What could be causing my printer not to work?

We still have this printer from a while back. We haven’t used it in a while…we kept it in a storage building. It’s not an old printer, it’s a Lexmark X1100: All-in-one center.

Well, I plugged it up, all the lights are coming on, and everything. I used the CD-ROM that came with it, and I installed it.

When I try to print something, it acts like it’s printing…but when it gets done, and comes all the way out…it’s a blank page. It has ink, it shows to be well over half full of both color, and black.

Does anyone know what is wrong with it?
