Read more steps to resolve the issue Epson printer prints blank pages.

if the printers been sitting for some time, the printhead has dried up "not good" printheads generally retail around $100, you can try soaking the bottom of the printhead in metho which may fix some colors but you would be pretty lucky to get all them to work.

most like your nozzles are clogged up. you will need to take it into a service center.

You must try to print a test page. If it still prints black pages. Maybe it has changed its configuration. You must configure it first to your desired output.

Normal 0 Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

If the Nozzle Check Pattern page prints correctly and completely, the problem may lie within your software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.

Assuming have tried the obvious stuff like deleting the printer and reinstalling with the newest driver from Epsons web site and that you have checked all your software settings are correct - then;

This could one of a couple things. The first and easiest to look at is your USB cable. Change it and try printing again. If the symptoms remain then it is most likely to be the main board. This is not something the home user can easily rectify as if a main board is changed you MUST input the head ID into the new board so the correct voltage is selected for the head. The head iD includes a voltage ID. A fraction of a volt off and the new board will kill the head and then self destruct. Spectacular to watch but dreadfully expensive entertainment!

If the main is suspect call a qualified engineer to take a look.
