Epson C82 stopped printing blue

No blue colour was printing. I changed the blue cartridge (ok, cyan) on
my C82, but it's still not printing blue colour. What kind of clog is
that and how do I get rid of it?

Have you run any cleaning cycles and nozzle checks. You will get longer
cleaning cycles if you do it from the utility menu of the printer. You may
need to do quite a few to get the color running again.

If the old cartridge wasn't entirely empty one solution is to inject it with
some Windex window cleaner and run a few print and then cleaning cycles with
the old cartridge in. That will clean crud and encrusted or dried ink from
within: as the ink fades you'll know it is working, and then swap back.

It can take more than 6 if it is badly clogged. After you have done 7-8 let
it sit until morning and try it again.

OK, run another 8 this morning. No change.

As the printer uses pigmented inks, it's very difficult (not to say
impossible) to recover a clogged printhead.

Not yet. I've been using non-Epson cartridges, and after I complained to
the provider they sent me a new Epson cartridge which I recieved today.
I will have time to try that during weekend.
