    have just reloaded my HP photosmart C5280 printer with new ink cartridges and when I click a word document to prink nothing happens. I just see the "document" is in queue.

    I've aligned the printer etc. I've had this for 2 years and its never not printed when its meant to.

    Can anyone suggest a way I can fix this? Really need to get it fixed asap, as I've stuff to get printed.

    Thanks.

    Start off with the basics, Have you restarted the computer? If you go into Start>Printers and Devices/Printers & Faxes in XP what is the status associated to the HP printer, are you sure your printing to the correct one in settings?
    Also look to make sure the USB cable is attached to the printer and pc correctly, also try another USB port
