Re: I've replaced the ink cartridges on my mother's Epson...
Epsons usually give you an option to "clean the heads." Look for any Epson software on the computer, or it might be hidden within the "Properties" of that printer (in Control Panel).

You have to go to the properties of the printer and in the maintainance tab do some nozel cleaning and head cleaning.
and check it should be fine
thanks
If you have carried out 4 to 5 head cleans, waited about 8 hours and done another 3 or head cleans doing nozzle checks after each clean (as recommended by the manual) and there is still no improvement then you will need a third party head cleaning solution such as this one: http://websites.uk-plc.net/UK_Inkjet_Cartridges_PLUS/products/Print_Head_Cleaner.htm
Other makes & brands are available just google "inkjet head cleaning solution" Hope this helps.
Unfortunately yes... you need to have at least some ink in each cartridge or the printer will refuse to work.
I did post up a long explanation of why this was on another solution but I can't find it so short version is that it does this to stop damage to the printhead nozzles.
you mean it goes intothe motion of printing and the paper comes out blank ?
you already changed the cartridges and performed print head cleaning.
it is having a hardware failure and it needs service. (get a new one instead)(contact the manufacturers customer service and ask for the loyalty program - discounted price)
sad to say but theres no fix-it-yourself for that issue. (you can verify it with the manufacturers tech support)
You are out of black and magenta (tricolor cartridge) ink or ink has dried up. Try touching the nozzle plate (underneath print cartridge) with a water dampened cloth (not alcohol) for cleaning clogged nozzles (do not rub). Ultimate remedy : put in contact nozzle plate with hot water for about 5 seconds. If color still missing your printer need new cartridges.
mine did that. it was a full cartridge and it was still saying it was empty. tech support told me i had to reset the chip but mine was a refilled cartridge. then everything worked fine but i had the reseter
