I have had the same problem.Here is what I have done. HP reimbursed me for the ink I purchased trying to do their "troubleshooting". I will say I got the printer to print, but knew it was going to continue to suck ink so I have purchased a Brother. Next time you are feeling rich you can buy a Brother. It should be working now! It will at least work long enough to use up that $50 worth of ink you bought when you were touble shooting. When it quits cycling (wasting more of your ink) run your test page or print quality report. Snap the ink back in to the correct spots. Make sure you have all the moisture wiped up and all the paper towels out of the printer. Now that your hands are black and fingernails are disgusting, it is time to see if your effort paid off. they are kind of stuffed back in on the right hand side. There are some little rubber blades that wipe the ink nozzles. You won't be able to get it all, but try to get the majority. Now you will need about a dozen paper towels and some windex or ammonia to clean up all the gooey ink in the parking station. You may repeat the process (hey, while you are in there, you might as well, right?). Wait a couple minutes and slide the print head back to the left. This should dislodge and dissolve any clogs in the nozzle. SLOWLY sqeeze the ammonia solution into the tube from the syringe. Place the tube over the black ink nozzle on the print head and make sure it is sealed. Fit the syringe into the end of the tube. Fill the syringe with windex or diluted ammonia (I used diluted ammonia).

Now slide the ink carriage back to the right so it is on top of the paper towel. Fold up a paper towel so it will fit UNDER the ink carriage and stuff it in the groove by the rollers. Now you have to slide the ink carriage to the left. Now UNPLUG the printer and USB (you don't want to get fried). Open the hatch like you are changing ink. I suggest that you wear gloves and have a plastic trash bag handy to throw the messy towels in. You will also need a syringe without the needle. you have to make sure the cut is smooth or it won't seal around the nozzle. You can get it at Lowe's or a farm supply store. Get a piece of plastic tubing tubing kind of like fish tank tubing but fatter. Okay, so this is what I did since the print head cannot be removed to soak it and HP just runs you around in circles. And make sure you research the Epson printers. If it is not removable there is still a solution. If your print head is removable, take it out and soak it.
