The Epson R series printers seem to have a suction pump to pull ink
through the nozzles during the cleaning cycles that should eliminate a
lot of the well know Epson clogging problems. But as Dave mentions
using the printer once a week helps even if it does not have the suction
pump. Neither helps with a dead piezo element however.

I've had head clogs with my 2100 (=2200 but with different
accessories in the box) if I'm not using it often enough. Lately
I've been making sure that I use it at least once a week and it has
been behaving much better.
I might even have a go at doing a 329mm panorama soon...
