Greetings,
If you haven't used the printer for years, even with no inks installed, the printhead or delivery system will be clogged.
The only way to safely store a printer (like this) for an extended period of time (years) would have been to remove and flush the print head and store it empty. Even then, any residual ink left would dry and turn practically to stone.
Nozzle check pattern, yes, you will have to do that. Canon inks will run you about $125
No name $30-$50. May want to start with those to determine if the printer is functioning and can be sold.
