Printer Leaking Puddles Of Black Ink

Suddenly, my 940Cdeskjet printer leaked a big black puddle of ink on my desk and down the drawers (staining and ruining the wood finish).  Is it the cartridge or the printer?  What can I do to fix it?  There is a light film of ash-like ink/toner(?) dust inside and outside the printer as well.  Thank you.  SS
