Could this be a very old printer?

Hmm that's over 3 years ago so when was this put into service? Today we see the consumer grade units lasting about 2 years.

The RESUME light is supposed to indicate out of paper or a paper jam. Check inside the printer for pieces of paper or maybe a label stuck inside the printer. good luck
