Has the vacuum pump tube come disconnected? That happened to my second,
and final, Epson ink jet as some of them have a design flaw.

A blank output problem is usually caused by a simple print head
clog. On printers that use Dura Brite inks the problem can be much
more complex than just a simple clog. The problem is the ink purge
tube on the cap assembly has become disconnected. This usually
happens after the ink cartridge/cartridges have been replaced.
There's lots of pages on the problem once you start Googling.
Cheers,
Ralph.
