Epson printers are notorious for this. If there is a successful way of getting an Epson working after this has happened, I don't know about it.
If you end up replacing your printer, I would recommend looking at HP. The new HP printers use individual cartridges (like the Epsons), but the ink is much cheaper and lasts longer. Also, whenever you turn an HP printer off, the printhead is cleaned and the ink is cleared away from the printhead to prevent clogging. The ink is actually vacuumed back into the cartridge. I've had an HP Photosmart C5180 for about 7 months and have never seen any signs of problems. HP have made printers that use this technology for about 3 or 4 years and I've never heard of anyone experiencing problems with ink clogging.How does one manually clean the print heads on an Epson Stylus Color C84 inkjet printer?
Take it to a service center to get it cleaned. You didn't by any chance use compatible ink cartridges, did you? If so, that could also be the cause for this clogging. Usually, genuine Epson ink (although expensive) will not clog the print heads and are acutally more cost effective in the long run.
