Problems with Epson Xp-55 printer (1 Viewer)

I have been trying to print a few pictures recently and I am getting rather bizarre results - see attached files. Checking ink levels show none of the inks have run out. Has anyone get any suggestions on how to sort it?

Pull the plug, wait some hours for any remnant electricity to drain out and restart the printer while hoping for the best?

I've tried that.

How long is it since you used the printer.
If it has been a while the ink nozzles in the ink cartridges can become blocked.
Look for a "maintenance" or some such setting on your printer.
There is usually an item listed for cleaning the print heads , run this and see if it helps.

That’s what it looks like to me as well.

Yes. Bit of a doh moment. Thanks guys for pointing out what should have been obvious to me. It's worked.
