Help, my printer is streaking. By that I don't mean running naked onto a cricket pitch, but that there are faint lines a few pixels wide running across the width of my prints. (A4 paper, normal mode)

 

I have

  • Changed my ink cartridges
  • Cleaned the printer heads (simple clean and second level clean)
  • Aligned my printer

 

Indeed, I have cleaned and aligned twice.

 

What do I do next?
