Inkjet replacement problem sorted thanks R.H.

Sounds like the cyan is somewhat clogged. Honest advice would be to replace the printer. Inkjet printers are 95% of the time not worth servicing and it is typically economical to just replace.
If your looking for a printer with long term investment spend the extra money for a laser printer. Much easier to repair.
There is a reason that Inkjet's has no repair section in the A+ certification.
Comment back if you need anything else.
Thanks!

Printhead reads as the wrong cartridge!R u using canon ink or compatibles?Replace the head and it will be sorted!

The printer counts the number of prints and cleaning cycles and when you get that error you need a shop to replace the ink absorber pads and reset the counter so the error goes away. If you bypass the error, the ink will fill up and leak out or ruin the printer sensors. The absorbers cover the entire bottom of the printer and require complete disassembly to remove.

##345 says the systems internal unit has failed, could be paper jam, purge unit stuck with ink or paper, even feeder unit on back not turning properly.

Clean the contact points on the cartridges with a dry, lint-free cloth.

1. Open the top cover of the printer.

2. Remove the print cartridges.

3. Clean the copper-colored contact points on the cartridges with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.

5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

6. Close the top cover.

7. Try printing again.

What sort of paper are you using? What sort of volume has the machine done? Have you ever had a jam and pulled the paper back out through the auto sheet feeder instead of feeding it through the exit rollers?

Put the carriage to change cartridges remove the black and reinsert. Then if still in trouble repeat for all other carts. Meanwhile download the Epson utility from www.ssclg.com This fix all sorts of Epson problems
