Default printer is ready to print, but it doesn't print. (hp deskjet 3820)

i can turn the printer on, and when it comes on the
lights start blinking in succession then it spits out one
paper. Then the rollers start rolling back and forth and
eventually they stop. then i go to print something and
the power light starts blinking, which supposedly means
the printer is preparing to print. But eventually the
power light goes back to solid and nothing prints.
HELP PLEASE!

Do one more complete uninstallation and reinstallation to ensure that the
drivers are working correctly.

Disconnect the printer from the PC.

Follow the instructions at
http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article%20One.htm

Do NOT miss out on step 4.

Download a new set of drivers from the HP website at http://tinyurl.com/ccrv

Follow the detailed installation instructions at the HP website at

Can it print a test page now?
