If Windows detects the printer but nothing prints, I'd first restart the Print Spooler service and try printing a Windows test page. Also check if the Dell printer is set as the default printer and make sure it's not paused or set to "Use Printer Offline." If that doesn't help, try connecting it through a different USB port or reinstall it using the built-in Windows driver instead of the Dell driver. That usually fixes this kind of issue.

Please can you confirm the Make Model and OS, along with any configuration details like touch screen, backlit keyboard, SFF or tower etc etc.
