My guess is that you've got a particularly stubborn bit of fuzz, or perhaps
even a hair, stuck to the printhead. There's a technique for cleaning the
printhead with paper towel or cloth wetted with an ammoniated window cleaner
like Windex. You can find details of it in the archives of the
EPSON_Printers group, if you search on "windex".
