Epson printer's not printing

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

My Epson Sylus CX5200 printer is not showing ink on anything at any setting.
It's going through all the normal motions, but there's nothing on the paper
when it comes out.

All ink cartridges are almost new, and the color monitor is even showing
that I'm using ink.

One other note: I cannot seem to uninstall the software feature with that
model called Epson Smart Panel by conventional means. Might both problems
be connected?
