Got a problem with my Epson 1280 Printer; Alternating gree..

I put in a new color ink cartridge and got rewarded with two blinking
lights. Also, the printer head that holds the ink cartridges won't move at
all. The head is stuck to the right. I called Epson and the person that
answered didn't seem to know that much, but said it was probably an internal
problem and gave me the details for a local repair center. Any ideas on
what it is and how much it will cost to fix? I might just spent the money
towards an R2400 printer if the cost is $100 or more. The printer is about
5 years old.


Thanks

At bottom center of the ink holder is a locking finger sticking up through the
bare metal plate. Push it down and see what happens. Mine releases the holder.
