I recently put in new Canon ink cartridges to replace the empty ones. When I use the bottom feed for photo printing on glossy photo paper, the pictures have small lines across the image. I tried the cleaning, deep cleaning, and alignment options, but still have the same problem! Any advice?
It sounds like there is a blockage or junk sitting over one or more jets in the printhead.

Banded or streaked prints
Solution:
Change the Print Quality Settings (Windows)
Change the Print Quality Settings (Windows)
The
Quality setting controls how finely ink droplets are placed on the
printed page. Depending on the type of paper being used a higher Print
Quality setting does not always insure a better print. Print speed will
decrease as the Print Quality setting is increased. Follow the
instructions below to change the print quality settings in the Canon
printer driver for the Windows operating system through a printing
application.
To set more detailed print quality settings, follow this procedure:
Note: Depending on the Application software, 'Properties' may be displayed as 'Preferences'.
Note: There are five options in 'Quality'. However, selectable options are limited depending on the media type.
