Epson Stylus CX4600 printed fine, then gradually began skipping, etc. I replaced all ink cartridges,checked the print head nozzles, and cleaned the print head. Still nothing. Printer works,but paper is completely blank. Any suggestions? Thanks

Printer works, By this, do you mean that it feeds paper properly?

Yes, the printer feeds properly. Absolutely no changes other than blank paper comes out. Thanks
Could something be stopped up, and if so what do I do about it?

Your heads are likely clogged.

Is "unclogging" them something I can do, or do I need to call a repair person?
Thank you for your answer.

don't mean to adress the obvious, but did you take the tape off the ink cartridge before you installed them?

:wall: Don't mind asking the obvious - sometimes that is what it takes. But, yes I did. Am about convinced that whatever gets clogged is clogged. Can I do anything, or do I need to call a repair person?
