Let one of your friends do it so you do not have an issue greater than what you may already have.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
It is easy to change the ink cartridges yourself, but I'll give you a few advices first things first be cool and **** with the machine as there are such sensitive parts in Printers that if damaged, can not be repaired or replaced, making your machine useless and last but not the least, you should use the original Vendor's prescribed cartridges as this prolongs the overall machine's life.
I've provided a step by step Guide's link by the Vendor's Website with pictorial representations (That is divided into 4 steps, you can navigate through the buttons at the top left corner), you can find the link below.
If you think I was of help, your token of appreciation in the form of rating will be esteemed.

go to printer settings and go to print configuration and run set up for new cartridges, to align cartridge heads.

Do a head aliment page to test the nozzle operation. The line on the test page should be in black and white.

Magenta ink of color cartridge finished, may due to more use of red prints. Replace cartridge.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles. If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive. It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head.

Replacing procedure only available if one or more ink tank "empty" or not recognized. Follow "how to..." at epson status monitor. but if you wish to replace, just turn on printer, unplug power chord while carriage moving. The carriage released from locking position, move carriage by hand to the appropriate position.

Unfortunately it's entirely possible the printer has suffered a power surge as a result of the power cut so you could have one or all of the following issues:1. The printer mainboard may have suffered damage in which case it's game over.2. One or more of the cartridge chips may have been "fried"... You could try removing all the cartridges, turning the printer off and then on again to see if the printer alters the message to indicate that cartridges are missing. If that works it's unlikely that 1 applies... If the printer recognises the cartridges are missing, try inserting cartridges one at a time (closing the printhead/cartridge cover and printer lid each time to allow the printer to recognise the cartridges) and see if one or more in particular is not being recogised..Try a new or old cartridge to see if that is recognised if necessary.Beyond that you may be out of luck unless anyone else has any other suggestions...

Blocked print head nozzles Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent blocked print head nozzles. You may have blocked print head nozzles. Try the printer maintenance to clear the printer nozzles. After several deep cleaning attempts and there is no improvements in the print then a new print head is required. A new print head maybe expensive and it maybe more cost effective to purchase a new printer.
