Did you pump windex through with a syringe, or just apply it to the 
parking pad? If you've tried pushing it through, did you also suck 
it back through the head? Try that: gently push it through, and then 
pull it back until you get air in the syringe. Dump the windex, 
reload, repeat the process several times, and when you're ready to 
test, put clean windex in it and leave it in until the cleaning 
cycles flush it out and pull fresh ink in the head. If that doesn't 
do it, you might be stuck with having the head replaced.
