Spurred on by Bob's advice to look further and aply some silicon spray,  I
found the problem in the form of a little lever that was sticking up and
blocking the ink carriage movement. I was able to toggle it free and make it
drop down again. Problem solved.

Epson's technical team, zero;
Bob 10.

Thanks Bob.
