I have said printer and it will not print.

I haven't used it for a while. Went to print and spit out a blank
page. I printed a test page and again a blank page. The ink monitor
indicates that the ink levels are good. I did a nozzle test, ink head
clean and still spits out a blank page. I get no errors reported such
as "low ink level" or anything else. I click print and everything
seems to respond properly with the exception of the blank page output.
Just to clarify this page is totally blank, no smeared ink, not a
single hint of ink appearing. Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Val

Dried ink -> hot water job.
Described many times in this NG

Dear Val,

Please email me and I will send you a manual I have written that
addresses most of the problems Epson printers encounter which lead to
the head not printing.

Many of the fixes (the most common ones required) are easy fixes and
cost pennies in materials to accomplish.

You will not be spammed by me and I don't sell anything, including your
name or email address.

I recommend against hot water.

How hot, exactly? The parts are plastic, the heads are not designed for
any heat, since they are not thermal. Appropriate solvents are much safer.

Art,

How do I email you in order to get your Epson manual?

Usually, my email address appears in the header, but if your email
client or news reader isn't showing it, it is below. Of course, change
the "at" to @ and the "dot" to . and remove spaces.
