Printer won't print! It was on a network before now its at a home and I can't get it to print?

I bought a computer and printer from my work and I have them set up at my house, but I can't get the printer to print. It was on my works network before and when I got it from them it didn't come with the usb cord or anything that hooks into the computer. It was all wireless before. How do I get it to work for me???

    Depending on the OS on it, you need to hook the USB cord to the back of the printer, then to a USB port. Turn on the PC. Once the PC is operating, turn on the printer. The OS, if Windows, will either see the printer and load the driver, or ask you for the location of the drivers. If it sets up automatically, you are set; if not you need the drivers off the internet. At work you were using it as a network printer. Now it will be a local printer.

    Please check ur printer cartridge, it might be empty

    Try refilling the cartridge and then take a print

    If refilling does not works take ur Printer to the concerned service centre
