Make sure that the printer supports the paper or media.

Make sure that the printer is loaded with undamaged, dry paper.

If the condition of the paper or media is in doubt, replace it with new paper or media.

Make sure that you have the proper tray selected in the print driver and from the control panel.

Make sure that you have the correct paper type selected in the print driver and in the control panel of
the printer.
