Depending on how old the printer is, how many cart changes, how long running on dry, real epson carts or brand X &c &c it may be time for a new printer. I've had two and both of them failed within two years after ink change. The print heads seem a bit sensitive to drying out.

Use the epson utilty to clean the print head. I have a epson and this could take 5 to 10 times. If that does not help then you have a bad cartirage. I've seen people buy new ones that sat for a while and there not any good.

maybe you didnt change the empty ink cartridges as fast as you should have, so the printing head is coggled, just go to the utility tab in the epson print menu, choose "head cleaning", when done print a test page, if everything went OK, thats it, if not, repeat the head cleaning procedure over and over again.

Like System Shock, I'd be inclined to make sure the right carts are in the right places. Normally, if the heads are clogged (which can happen) you'd be getting smearing, streaking, missing ink etc.

go to start, control panel and click on printers, then click view installed printers, right click on the printer and click on printing preference and go to utilise and it will show you options on cleaning and testing your printer

Did you put the right colours in the right spaces?
