Digital BW, The Print

Yes, do this to disengage-or I'm able to release my 1280 just by 
pushing down on the white post that sits up at the bottom middle left 
of printhead in parked position with power off and unplugged. The 1160 
is similar.

You don't give enough info to determine what is needed. What ink you 
use/ whether a CIS/CFS is used, are crucial questions. But you need to 
get that nozzle clear ASAP if it has run dry (there may just be air in 
it though). Get some Epson brand new carts in there and try to recover 
with no more than 3 cleaning cycles followed by a purge pattern 
printout. If you can clear the pattern you can stop counting minutes 
and determine whats wrong from there. But those nozzles shouldn't sit 
dry for many hours..
