PIXMA TS6120 Will not print. It .. just stopped printing?

I've had this printer only a couple years. I tried to print something last night and the paper just comes out blank. I have used the gear screen to clean it and then also did the deep cleaning. But still nothing. Ink levels are okay and paper in loaded correctly. Don't know why it just stopped printing my documents

Frist thing to do is determine if this is caused by the printer itself or a software issue. Print a nozzle check, it will let you know if you have an ink delivery, or printhead problem. If it prints correctly then it may be a software issue.

To perform a nozzle check on the PIXMA TS6120, turn on the printer, load A4 or Letter size paper, then press the "Home" button, select "Setup," choose "Maintenance," and finally select "Nozzle Check." Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

When you say partial pattern what did it print? There should be a number of colored bars and printed page numbers at the bottom.

Just almost all the color bars nothing else. Looks like there should be more but just the color bars

Yours might not print any info at the bottom of the bars. How many bars did it print? Should be at least seven including the black pattern at the top. The fact that it printed may suggest you have a paper setting issue, check this guide and make sure it is set for A4 paper

I should have asked sooner, but what operating system do you print from? PC using Windows? Mac? Or from a Phone?
