What I suspect was the problem was that the ink dried and hardened in the oriface in which it comes out thereby not letting any of the liquid ink pass by. Regardless, it doesn't matter because it works now. It is hard to say if the fact that it worked was a combination of all of the cycles that I ran the printer through or if I could have just gone to the power cleaning cycle. Luckily I tried the 'Power Cleaning' cycle and it worked!!. I'd never heard of doing a power cleaning before so I was losing hope and had visions of tossing this one into the recycle and having to purchase a new one. Once into the printer preferences queue and maintenance (as mentioned above) I tried the nozzle cleaning function, then the head cleaning function and both of these didn't work. This had it run through a cycle of print head cleaning. Then I pulled out the Epson 元110 user's guide/owner's manual and followed the recommended steps there which included holding the button with the triangular shaped design in it down for 5 seconds until the power button blinked. Just to go through the steps I did a visual check anyway and I could see through the front of the receptacle that there was enough ink (it was almost full). It was obvious there was as it hasn't printed since I filled them myself. The very first thing I tried was to make sure there was enough in the receptacles.

I probably would have ruined it by doing so and been forced to toss the whole thing. I was one step away from taking it apart and somehow cleaning the ink receptacle by hand. This worked like a charm for me to get my printer back printing.
