Why my printer does can't print?

Question

I have HPDeskJet 2130 printer which does not want to print. I thought maybe the problem is ink but printer copied documents without any problems and when it comes to printing it simply does not work. i got two cables with printer and one of them fits in my laptop idealy. I am trying to fix this for months and asked a Professional for help and he said I need some sort of another cable but I have no idea what kind of cable. What do you think? What is the problem? Thank you for you response.
