Canon S530D printing problem

Question

I was wondering if anyone knows what might be wrong with my printer. It's stocked with ink, but it won't print anything. When I try to print out something, the paper runs through the machine, but there's nothing on it. I've never had this problem before and have no clue what could be wrong. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

When did it last print ok? Is the print head scanning back and forth, trying to print, as the paper goes through or does the paper just roll through fast? Is it not printing in both black and color?

try taking out the cartridges and check if there's any obstructions inside the printer.

I already tried taking out the cartridges and checking for obstructions, but there don't seem to be any. I'll try it again though when I get home on Monday night. Thanks for trying to help, guys!

The last time I printed something properly was in early December, and the print head does seem to be scanning back and forth. There were actually some words printed out extremely lightly last time I tried to print something.

All my cartridges seem to have lots of ink left though.

You could be very low or out of ink. The ink level indicator on most printers is not very accurate.
