The only time my Epson (Stylus Color 760) clogged was when I didn't use it
to print for several weeks. Took many repeated cleaning cycles to get it
up and running again. Was about to give up and resign myself to taking it
to a service center when some ink finally started to show on the
page. Took another 6 - 10 cycles to get full function restored.
At the risk of "Big Fat Greek Wedding" jokes: try Windex. If you can't
get a good test pattern after two cleaning cycles, put about 6 drops of
Windex (got an eyedropper somewhere?) on the pad that the print head rests
on. Turn the machine off and let is work for an hour or two or
overnight. Run a cleaning cycle and test print when you start it up again.
One thing I suspect in the case especially of non-OEM carts is that folks
are not getting clogs but bubbles. The symptoms are the same.
