Vista sees printer, but won't print

After connecting my printer to my new laptop for the first time, Vista
successfully found and installed the printer driver and gave me a message
that the printer was ready to use. When I try to print a document, the
document shows up in the print queue as "printing" but nothing prints.
Everything is plugged in and seems fine, there's paper in the printer, etc. I
can't discover where the problem is. Any ideas?
 
Printers can be very idosyncratic - what make and model of printer and how
is it connected (e.g. USB)?

If you get an answer please let me know. I have had to use my HP laptop for
6 months without being able to print. I have installed 4 different printers,
used all the updated drivers, used several different cables, and nothing
works. Tech support with Lexmark and HP all blame Microsoft and Microsoft
blames the printer companies. There is something preventing the data transfer
to the printer and I think it could be Vista.
