Canon S9000 Nozzle Check

I'm trying to print some photos on my Canon S9000, but of course, my nozzle check doesn't looks so good because I haven't printed anything in a while. This website said to put denatured alcohol in the ink sponges on the print head and blow compressed air through it. I've done this twice now, but still no dice. I cleaned the ink sponges with rubbing alcohol and then ran the air compressor up to 70 psi and put the compressed air nozzle right up to the sponge and opened it up. It did look cool - It blew out a mist of black ink, but the nozzle check looks no better, I'm afraid. Maybe I need to soak the print head in rubbing alcohol over night?
