Prints alternate lines after cartridge change

[Ivan26]

Just changed the black cartridge and am getting perfect prints BUT alternate lines only!! The printed material comes out double spaced,

I have aligned, cleaned, re-aligned, switched off and on all to no avail.

I have not experienced this problem in the 5 years I've had the printer.

What is my next step/s to go about resolving the problem?

Thanks.
