A video on InkJet Mall (also on YouTube) shows an excellent series of steps to unclogging a 1400. I only had one trouble and that was seeing how to access the wiper blade for cleaning. At first I couldn't even see where it was but if you look carefully you'll see one end of a rubber-like material. Then I bent a paper clip at one end to a right angle, about 1/4" long, and hooked the blade's holder, lifting it up and back to make it accessible. Attached are a couple of photos, you can hook the paper clip either under the left or the right of the holder. (Don't forget to place it back!)

Not sure about other model Epsons, but perhaps they use the same general layout.

My first post with photos... not sure what size you prefer here. Hope this is useful!
