If your default printer isn't printing, first check the connection (USB cable or Wi-Fi). Ensure the printer is powered on and has paper and ink/toner. Restart both the printer and your computer. Check the print queue for stuck jobs and clear them. Finally, update or reinstall the printer drivers if necessary.
