Try cleaning the print heads.  You can usually do this by using the printer software that came with your computer.

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

I had this problem at work.  It was the printer driver.  Make sure you have the latest compatible driver set up your computer.  That's about all I can tell you.\n\nIf this is at work, contact your administrator.

follow the advice of the other answerers, replace the cartridge, but i, too would recommend a thorough cleaning first.\n\nvery gently with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol take the printer apart and clean, clean, clean.  just be careful to put it back the way it was.\n\nhope this helps.  good luck.

Uninstall your printer and reinstall again...if it continues then you have a driver conflict.

Take the cartridges out, unplug the printer and leave it that way for a few minutes.  Then plug it back it and reinstall the cartridges.  See if you can run the cleaning utilities that point.  Basically, just try fooling around with it a little.  \n\nNot that it's much comfort, but four years is a long time to have that printer.  It's possible it got messed up or tweaked in a way that really can't be fixed by anyone.

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges \nBe sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session. \n\nMake sure the EPSON Stylus CX5400 is turned on and not printing. The LCD screen tells you which ink cartridge is low or empty. \nIf your EPSON Stylus CX5400 is low on ink, press the left Menu button until you see Change Cartridge, then press the Color Copy button. \n\nIf your EPSON Stylus CX5400 is out of ink, press the Color Copy button. \n\nThe ink cartridges move to the replacement position.\n\nLift up the scanner.\n\nPinch the tabs on the front and back of the cartridge, lift it out of the printer, and dispose of it carefully.\n\nBefore you remove the new cartridge from its package, shake it four or five times.\n\nUnwrap the new ink cartridge and lower it into its holder, then press down on the top of the cartridge until it clicks in place.\nCaution: Don't touch the green circuit board on the back of the cartridge; you may inhibit normal operation and printing. \n\nIf you need to replace other ink cartridges, repeat steps 4 through 6 before continuing with step 7. \n\nCarefully lower the scanner and press it down until it clicks into place. The EPSON Stylus CX5400 begins charging the ink delivery system.\nThe On light flashes and the EPSON Stylus CX5400 makes noise. Charging takes about 30 seconds. When it's finished, the On light stops flashing and stays on. \n\nCaution: Never turn off the EPSON Stylus CX5400 while the On light is flashing, unless the Stylus CX hasn't moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.

Sounds like a problem with the printers drivers. Try updating to the newest version, or contact your printers technical support.

Maybe the circuitry is fried.  Reinstall the printer driver, make sure none of the plastic strips are still in the printer cartridge and then reboot your computer.
