Default Printer printing blank pages only - help!

Hi All

Ive just got a printer from work, was an ex directors home printer so free - epson colour 980. Anyway - I cant make it print, it just prints blank pages - does all the right movements, lots of the right noise etc but nothing but blank comes out! Have put fresh cartridges in, got latest drivers, done all the software head clean stuff 3 times etc etc.....................

Any ideas?? Im stuck

Do you know it was working before you acquired it?

and daft question - did you remove the seals from the new cartridges?

I know it had worked, but Im guessing it was sent back because it didnt work(with our company directors they just give em new stuff when old stuff packs up)

Yep seals removed ok , very annoying..........

Sounds like the cartridge is blocked or the jets

Had this on a old epson took out the cartridges and gave then a gentle bash on the bit of kitchen roll to force the crap out off the holes

It worked
