Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Printer owned for exactly 6 months and has worked fine.  I haven't changed settings; still has ink in the cartridge; made a test print--no problem; checked cables and all connected.  I click print on the screen and the printer runs and acts like it is printing, but the result when it is finished is just blank paper.  I tried other print jobs and got the same result--blank paper

I connected the cables to another computer and got the same results.What could be the problem?
