Raise the CIS unit so the ink outlet pipes is about 1 inch above the level of the printheads and leave it for a few hours, that should allow the ink to flow into the carts easier. Then try the printer.

If that fails, clean, leave for a few hours, clean, leave for a few hours.. etc. until it either starts to work, or you get fed up and throw the printer away.

Unfortunately, Epson printers tend to block up far to easily unless you use them very regularly, and there's nothing much you can really do once that happens.
