> have cleaned & deep cleaned the printer head,
If your printer isn't used often, the print-head is likely clogged and no amount of machine 'cleaning' will restore it to function.
Your problem caused me to abandon ink-jets forever and go with a laser printer.
I used to maintain inkjets and the only method that seemed to have any effect on a clogged print-head is either replacement of the head and have had limited success by soaking the print-head in household ammonia for hours and finally bought an ultrasonic cleaner and used the ammonia bath to free up clogged heads.
After having serviced these turkeys for two decades, I finally tired of the necessity of cleaning print-heads for the few printing tasks I still do.
The very early HP inkjets were pretty good at lasting through a few days of non-use but the technology was also much coarser than the current units.
I LOVE my Samsung CLP-310; it ALWAY prints when I need it.

You may have a bad printhead, it's just like a light bulb and burns out after much use. Also the cleaning assembly has 2 sections for cleaning, one for color and one for black, and if one pump quits you will need a new purge assembly, a job best done at a shop. I would try the printhead first, QY6-0061-000

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.
