It sounds like the printhead is blocked with dried ink to a degree that normal cleaning cannot shift.
Most Canon printer's have a user-removable printhead so remove it and leave it to soak in a bowl of warm soapy water for a couple of hours. Don't use really hot water as it may deform the plastic.

After a couple of hours, rinse the printhead thoroughly and leave to dry.
Then comes the moment of truth -- reassemble the printer and try it.
