Print problem after changing cartridges

[WearyEric]

Printer was working OK but ink levels low. After changing all 4 cartridges it now prints  horizontal bars across the printout. Internal test page has 6 colored blocks across the bottom of the page, each of these has a line througjh the middle. unfortunately old cartridges were throw away and I can't recover the. Tried haes cleaning several times, no effect.
