Digital BW, The Print

My sympathies, this kind of thing can ruin a perfectly good week, and
more.
You are doing all the things you should. The only remaining one you
haven't mentioned is the wiper "blade". I'm not familiar with the
4000, but in the 7600/9600s, when you move the head back out of the
way so you can see into the parking area, you'll have access to a thin
rubber blade about 2" long that sits up higher than the head path.
It gets gunked up. So clean it as best you can with a windex soaked
qtip, do it several times.
It could be several things, including dampers. The flush cart may
help, and the other suggestion of letting it sit is good. But first it
must be moved up and into the head and it sounds like it's not there
yet. The only way to get it up there is by doing deep cleaning cylces
or even an init fill.
In my experience this behavior comes and goes, for no good reason.
Even with Epson ink.
