Give it a good nozzle cleaning, blow out the old inks, then fill it with
Piezotones. Buy some Photo Rag before the prices increase on the 15th. 

Then again, since the 9000 was really setup for dye inks, check out the
Lyson archival dye quads. Lyson has some nice papers to match them too.
The combination has good ratings from Wilhelm, for what it's worth.
