Try soaking the parking pad in windex as well to work on the clog from the outside.  I've also 
filled carts with windex and printed Paul Roark's "Purge Six" image when I had a stubborn bad 
nozzle check.  I'd run a half dozen sheets of plain paper through at Matte paper settings to 
get things good and wet then let it sit overnight on a soaked parking pad.  Repeat the next 
day and so on.  Make sure it is the old style windex with ammonia.
