Printer not printing even though it says it already did

[WrenRay]

I am trying to print from my laptop, which I've done many times already, and when I look at the printer que it shows the document printing and then finishes and disappears with no errors but nothing comes up or does anything on the printer.

I've rebooted, updated the software & drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.

I was able to print a document from my phone so I know the printer is working.

Any ideas? This printer isn't even 2 years old.

TIA!
