BJC-4300 printer not printing....

I have a Canon BJC-4300 printer here, and its not printing. Im pretty sure that it is the printer head that is plugged or something because when i try to do a "nozzle check" it goes through the motions of printing, but just dosent print anything. This happened to me before and I just dropped the 30 bucks for the new cartridge cradle, but I want to konw if there is anyway to clean it or un-plug it. I already tried to clean the thing with some de-natured alcohol, but taht didnt help.
Any one have any ideas??
Thanks

I get the feeling that Cano has some sort of printhead killer built into the BJC series. Based upon the fact that I had two BJC 6000 units, One probably had three thousand pages put through it and the other probably had less than 500 put through it, but yet, both started print head errors within a day of each other. Both printers were bought at the same time.
Instead of buying print heads, toss it and buy a cheapie HP for the price of the print heads alone.

thanks.
My mom just broke down and went and bought another print head, since we have a bunch of cartridges around. But she said next time it goes, that we'll get a new printer
