If you just changed the ink cartridge, make sure you removed the thin piece of invisible tape they use over where the ink comes out.
If you did not just replace the ink cartridge, and you have not used the computer for awhile and now the ink doesn't flow and print on the paper.
Take the ink cartridge out, get a soft cloth and dampen it with some warm water, and clean the area of the ink cartridge where the ink comes out of. Put the cartridge back in and see if it prints.

In addition to the above, I'd suggest you take a close look at a "nozzle check".
The general guideline is to avoid any printing other than nozzle checks until the problem is resolved. That's especially true with non-Epsons like HP, Canon, most others, that use heat to "explode" the ink droplets onto the page.
What printer model do you have?
Hope I'm wrong, but you may have already fried the print-head.
