Included in the efforts have been filling with a mixture of 8 parts ammonia and 1 part alcohol and 1 part water and running nozzle checks with it to clean it. That did not work very well. Another trick was to fill it with the proper ink and plug it and then pulling out 2-3 cc of ink before inserting it into the printer. That did not work very well either. Does anyone have any other suggestions they have tried that did work?

I have the same printer and had the same problem - and solved it.  Go to InkJet Mall's site and to the support page.  Dana Ceccarelli describes how to clean the print head there.  It may sound scary, but it's quite simple and very effective.  Contact me offline if you need further information.
