You don't say how old the printer is. My best guess, (I have an Epson
printer), is that the head cleaning fluid could be low. Mine has a
place where you can top it up, and it needs it every now and then
even if you don't use the printer. If there was any other problem,
cleaning the head 4 times to get it to print, to me would indicate
nothing is broken, or it wouldn't have worked after cleaning it 4
times. Sometimes the little openings the ink comes out are blocked
with dried ink. This happens if you don't use your printer very
often, or if you use discount ink like I do. I've had to remove the
cartridge and wipe the print face with rubbing alcohol to get it to
work, and then it does. I've even had to use a bandaid wet with
solution attached to the openings to dissolve the dried ink.My
biggest problem is the colour orifices, because if they are only
partially blocked, the colour doesn't print true. I could solve the
problem by buying the expensive ink specially made for my printer,
but my heritage doesn't allow that...Doug
