removed print
If an inkjet printer has not been used for some time and several print head cleaning has been done and it still does not print properly then the nozzles in the print head are blocked.
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent nozzles blocking with dried ink.
You need to replace the print head to get the printer functioning again.
But these print heads are expensive to replace, it may be better to buy a better and a later model printer for not much more costs.
I have an Epson R200
You can see the waste pad by opening the access panel on the back of theprinter. Open the access panel on therear of the printer (remove screw) You will see a tube (down and to yourleft) coming from the cleaning pump and it will have an open end onit. This is the tube that delivers ink to the waste pad. Use a piece of coathanger wire or equivalent, and fish out this piece of tube. Bring it tothe outside of the printer, thru the access panel. Find yourself a suitablecontainer (Tupperware or a plastic cup or jar) that is not too tall. Putthe tube into this container and secure the tube and container so they won'tcome apart or lose connection if the printer is moved. If you wish you can makea hole or notch in the access panel cover so it can be replaced. Now the inkwill go into this container and not into the waste pad inside theprinter. If it gets full, dump it.

That sounds like the ink counters need resetting and the ink pads changed. I don't have it to hand ATM but I'll add a comment tomorrow with the link for the counter reset app.

This is because the ink pads in the bottom of the printer are full of waste ink. To get to this state, the printer will normally have been well used. It will need to be dismantled and new pads installed then the printer will need to be reset. Probably best to put it in the nearest recycling skip and buy a new machine.
