I'll second Andrews method only I use a heavier blue "shop towel", (less lint).  I inherited an 
r1800 that had been helplessly clogged by a leaking CIS.  The parking pads were gummed up 
with thickened ink, the bottom of the head would sit down into the thickened ink on the pads 
and re-clog immediately.

As well as running Andrew's method see If you can locate the tube leading from the parking 
pad and try inserting a syringe into the tube.  After soaking the parking pad with Windex 
keep sucking the residue out with the syringe until it is cleaned of all the gummy stuff. 

The 1800 I revived has worked flawlessly since then.  I've even left it for a two month long 
stint and all it needed was a couple of cleaning cycles and it was right back on its feet.
