Your printer might be saying it's ready, but there's something hampering the output. First, make sure you actually selected the right printer and that your document is adequately formatted. Then, take a look your paper tray: is it filled correctly? Is there any jammed paper? Sometimes a simple tweak can resolve the issue. If not, maybe it's time to inspect your printer's settings or even restart both your computer and printer.
