Physical Printer problem

[Dark Servant]

My Epson Stylus 740 printer is currently experiencing some problems of 
physical nature. When I turn it on the printing block (part with the 
ink cartridges) moves across the bar and slams its-self back into the 
side of the printer while making a strange wir noise. As a result it 
refuses print commands. I have been using ink refills. Would getting 
new ink cartridges fix the problem (I doubt it).

I'm almost certain I will need to take it somewhere to be fixed but it's 
worth checking on the list anyway.
