HP Printer Problem

I've an hp printer model 1310 and it's being a major pain in the arse. I can print fine sometimes but most of the time it's not working. I try to start the jobs back up and it seems like it's putting some sort of effort into it but then it gives up. I just updated and everything but still no luck. Has anybody had a problem like this or better yet a solution? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.
