I have an Epson Stylus Color 600, with some clogged nozzles. I've read somewhere that putting the printer's head over some steam would do the trick, but it didn't work.
Anyone knows another method?

Could try giving it some soup.
 
usually there is a utility in the bundled software that epson gives you that has an option call 'Clean Print Nozzles' and what it does is pushes the print nozzles hard on a piece of paper and prints the primary colors and black on a sheet of paper in different lines and that usually works well for me, then again i have a HP, but i've used that option on many epson's considering we have to do it by-weekly at work (work at best buy) and we have to keep the floor models operational

HAHHA!!, that is great, just be sure not to put it on any electrical pieces...lololol
 
Isnt there usually a utility that does that. I know HP has that utility.
 
Short of pulling it apart, use an eye dropper or equivilent to put a couple drops of rubbing alcohol in/on heads, let them sit a minute and try the printers head cleaning program.
