blank printing

[lucy diller]

When I try to print, my printer (Compaq IJ 650) makes the customary preliminary noises, starts to feed a piece of paper through, makes noises as if it were printing, ejects the page -- and there's nothing on it!  And the printer icon that usually appears in the lower right corner doesn not appear.  This happened suddenly -- I'd printed a couple of things, then poof, no printing.

Does your printer indicate it requires the cartridge to be replaced?
