cx6600 wont print an where is purge tube?

[gotflop]

Symptoms are as follows:
Yesterday the printer worked fine,( though it has gone through stages
of bad prining before) i accidentally left it on overnight and today
it was streaky and blue was not printing, i did several head
cleanings , and the printing got worse.
I removed the almost empty cartridges and cleaned the underside of the
print assembly with a method i have used before in which i move the
print heads over a dampened piece of low lint cloth. (This usually
works.)
I repeated this until the cloth was almost free of ink.
I installed new ink, first test showed good, except for blue and
yellow, head cleaning and then test...now virtually zero ink flowing.

I have seen mentioned something about a purge tube that become
disconnected, but the links are either very unclear as to how to
access this tube of the links no longer work.

suggestions?
i am adept at taking things apart, no issue there if necessary.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry I was off line for a day, so I just got to this. I have responded
to your private email request which will hopefully give you the
information your require.

You must use genuine epson cartridges for this model, even though

compatibles are available they will cause trouble and therefore not

worth the money saved.

That is true with all of those claimed compatibles (an overused and
meaningless term).
