    Your answer is how to replace ink cartriges not how to replace the print head. My print head is clogged and can not be cleaned.

    I can only
    find two screws, almost in the middle of the print head assembly. These screws
    seem to hold an irregularly shaped metal bar. You can see one side of it in the
    picture.


    The original picture is much better but 1.7 MB but I hope this will do.

    Finally good but the solution was far too expensive. Can get a new printer for the same price.

Before replacing it you should try this

But, if indeed the head is beyond help, then you can buy a new one from here

To remove the printing head you must disassemble the printer - after disconnecting the motor belt it needs to be slided out of the rails and for that the entire left side needs to be open.

Hi,

You can buy print head from the link below:

Buy print head

Follow the steps mentioned below to replace the print head:

1. Open the cover of your Epson printer so that you will see the ink cartridges. Unplug the printer so that it will not move automatically as it normally does when the printer heads are being tweaked.
2Locate the clip that is locking the printer heads in place. Unlock it, and pull the printer heads out.
3Shake the new print heads so that the ink inside will be mixed.
4 Remove the tape from the new print head.Insert the new print head into its carrier with the electronic contact facing the inside of the printer. There will be a color guide located on the printer head carrier.
5Close the lid on the carrier.
6Close the cover of the printer, and wipe your fingers using the wet rag to remove the ink stains.
7Press the ink cartridge replacement button on the front of the printer and the printer will charge the ink. The power light will flash until the ink is fully charged. When the charging is complete and the light stops flashing, close the top cover. The printer is now ready for use.

Hope this helps.

If you have any queries feel free to ask us.

    Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the screws securing the printer housing--two in the front and two in the back. Remove the housing.

    Remove the adjustment lever by releasing the spring. Remove the bushings on each end of the carriage guide assembly, being careful to note their position. Remove the carriage assembly by simply lifting it out. The print head will be attached to it, and can be removed by pulling the two pieces apart.

    Hope this helps.
