P1102 stopped working altogether

I just bought a HP Laserjet P1102w and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. I haven't used it much yet, but now NOTHING HAPPENS when I go to print.

- I turn the machine on, and all sounds good

- I plug the USB plug in

- I hit print and nothing happens - no error message

- When I check the device in Control Panel, it doesn't have a green tick, but does show the document in the print queue.

- Eventually it shows status as "Error-Printing", but no other information is available that I can find.

- I tried installing another version of the printer, but still no good

Stranegly, if I set it as the default printer, the green tick DOES NOT show up on the printer, whereas if I set any other installed printer as the default, the green star displays.

BTW, early on it was working wirelessly, but then stopped working wirelessly, so I started using the USB cable. Could the unit be faulty?

Also if I

I'm on Windows 7.

I right-clicked on the device and hit troubleshooting. This cleared the print queue so the green tick came bacl on the device (in control panel). But when I go to pront the same thing happens and then the green tick disappears again.
