I've had that problem and running the special blue sheet that comes with the paper pack through the printer seems to work. I've had to run the blue sheet through before each printout for a while, but the problem seems to have gone away - I guess it finally got cleaned out. It also seemed like running the blue sheet through after not using the printer for several weeks was a good idea before printing. When I get a new pack of paper, I run the blue sheet through as instructed. Instead of throwing the sheet away, I store it on top of the blank sheets inside the printer. That way I can use it again if needed.

It could be also the clogging of nossels in color Balck?!
For this purpose you need a special Cleaning solution, wich you
put first in the balck cartrige and start 2x cleaning(when cleaning you should observe if the balck ink is realy transported through the tube !!).Then you shut down your printer for about 24 hours.After that you clean also
for 2x times and check after that the nossels printing test. If not all nossels are free you should repeat the hole thing once again....till the nossels are free.Another problem i observed at my printer is that at some CISS ore kompatible cartriges the rubber-sealing get used with the time and do not seal enough the
conection from cartrige to printer-head and they **** only air...
For this problem i sugested a solution ..see epson stylus 1400
i hope i could help
SOURCE: streaky print out from canon Pixma mp830 all in one
I just bought a PIXMA iP3500. The 1st 2 photos I printed had veritcal White lines. I did a Nozzle Check and Alligned the Print head after the 1st photo printed. The 2nd still had the lines. Then I changed brands of Glossy Photo Paper and tried a 3rd time. This time I noticed that it printed much slower and it turned out just fine. Information says that you should have the settings at "high" not "standard". Double check that this hasn't inadvertently changed back to Standard. Gator

that definitly sounds like it needs to be replace, have you tried using the printhead cleaning utility?

as i can suggest you that it can be the problem of head clogged internally where you insert your black cartridge .and the other main cause is while you give a head cleaning command to get the cartridge cleaned it sucks or pulls the ink from the cartridge in such a huge quantity that 3-4 cleanings make the cartridge totally empty .due to this the ink gets very low and the printouts come with streaks.many a times setting the print mode in best makes the copy perfect.but the printing gets too slow in that best mode.
