Hi Peta You should have "Epson Printer Utility", which almost always gets installed if the CD was used to install it. You *may* find an alias to it in your Applications folder. If you don't then there should also be one installed in the following location.
NOTE: As the following is buried away in Library folders used by the system please don't move or change or rename anything in here, as all the folder structure is set a specific way the System requires it. Moving or changing things can have damaging effects to your computer. /end note. Macintosh HD - Library - Printers - EPSON - InkjetPrinter - Utilities Inside here should be a Utility called Epson Printer Utility (may have a 1 or 2 or 3 after it). If you run this it will allow you to do the Print Head clean. (If the alias for it isn't in the Application folder, once it's running then you can Control click on it's Dock icon and Choose "Keep in Dock", that way it's there for whenever you need it next, without having to and relook for it) Once you open it, just follow you nose. It should bring up a window listing your model of printer, which you click next arrow, and it will show it's connected via USB. Once you click through enough arrows etc it will take you to a main "choice" window, where one of the options will be "Head Cleaning". (Looks like this link, although not for your printer model):- <http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/r800__/r800__rf/softx_4.htm#epson%2 0printer%20utility%20functions%20b> (Or if the above link doesn't work, here's a tiny one) <http://tinyurl.com/yagu6k4> That should get it working for you (hopefully).
