Probably a blocked printhead.
Make a simple graphic using something like PAINT.
Small filled colour squares - one for each colour of cartridge your printer has.
You'll soon see which part of the printhead is clogged.

SOURCE: Printing problem with Epson CX9400
I have a CX9400Fax and occassionally print is mixed/missing lines. You must do a Cleaning cycle usually at least 4-6 times or until it prints a clear pattern. It will use LOTS of ink during the cleaning cycle. The printer normally uses a lot of ink, my solution was to purchase a CISS system along with a Waste Ink Container. IMO the best CISS is sold by the company below. I did have to call for tech support once and they returned my call in 30 minutes, problem solved and never came back. I purchase refill ink and it seems that I do a lot less cleaning cycles.

The most common cause of horizontal banding is generally missing,
deflected or clogged nozzles. To see if this is the cause you should
first print a nozzle check and examine the printout with a 10x or better
eye loupe for any missing or deflected nozzles. If nozzles are missing
or deflected you will need to perform cleaning cycles to recover these
nozzles.
Once all missing nozzles are recovered try printing your document again.
If
no nozzles are missing or deflected, check that you are using the
correct driver settings for the type of media you're printing on. Also
try printing at a higher resolution and turning high-speed
(bi-directional) printing off.
The most common cause of vertical banding is over-saturation of the
media, usually created by paper "rippling". To correct this effect,
decrease the saturation and lower the paper suction. If vertical banding
is still apparent print the image with high speed off
(uni-directional). If this corrects the issue, align the print head, as
described on page 5-6 of the Users Guide.

Hi
When switching from printing on standard paper to photo paper, you need the change the paper and picture quality settings in Printing Preferences.
Start > (Control Panel) Printer(s) > right click on the Epson TX121 printer icon > Printing Preferences > Main > tick Photo or Best Photo > under Paper Options/Type select the closest match to the type of Photo Paper you are using (see photo paper packet for guidance) > Apply > OK.
Use the same procedure to switch back to standard paper settings to print on normal paper again.
I hope this helps
