Hi,
I resurrected my ip9900 not realizing that storage dried the print head. Several deep cleaning cycles didn't unclog several of the colors. Where can I purchase a new print head? What is the price? Thanks.

You find a service manual for the printer here, and a parts catalog here. From the parts catalog the the parts number for the print head is found: QY6-0055-000, so you can search the web for one. It seems some can be found at Ebay, but beware of refurbished print heads.

Could you upload a scan or photo of the nozzle check, please? Maybe the print head can be saved with the proper cleaning technique? See this post about cleaning a seemingly hopelessly clogged print head.

Just because the print head didn’t clean up for you straight away doesn’t mean that it wont, but please remember not to print anything other than nozzle checks till you can resolve the situation either ways.

The fact you have had the printer in storage for some time is another indication that it may not be just the print head that’s clogged, the purge unit may not be functioning 100% properly either, you can also follow @PeterBJ good instructions.
Or try this if you wish...

Put the print head in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of washing up liquid and window cleaner, (Dreft/Windex) warm the mixture in the microwave and leave the print head to soak in it over night, and deep enough to cover the ink inlets.

While you’re doing that give the purge unit a good splash of Windex, use a syringe or spoon and soak everything up afterwards with some paper towels, then do the same again but this time leave the pads flooded then turn on the printer and let it preform a start up cycle.

Next day thoroughly dry the print head (Leave it somewhere near a bit of heat) put the head and cartridges back into the printer and try running a normal cleaning cycle, followed by a nozzle print and see what the results are, if necessary run another cleaning cycle.

Good luck with your efforts and please report back with your results..
