My printer has sufficient ink, it's spools/ heads etc. are clean but it often will spit out only blank pages, especially when required to print in text in black or images. It's driving me crazy!!!! Can anyone help?? The printer seems healthy enough but it doesn't seem to want to do it's job!

pretty vague... could be caused by heaps of things. i had a similar problem, and it had something to do with drivers. try updating/reinstalling drivers.

Are your print heads in the printer or on the cartridge? If they are on the cartridge give ur print heads a clean coz sometimes they drive up especially if you have the heater on.

If they are in the printer they may be cactus and you may need a new printer... or to replace the print heads

Got any error messages?

It's an Epson Stylus COLOUR 480...
In that case probably a faulty print head. If that is the problem then the best option is probably to buy a new printer.
