horizontal lines in prints

[genecampbell]

My epson 2200 printer is printing fine horizontal lines in finish prints. see attached. I have cleaned nozzles several times. Any idea what is happening? thanks

your nozzle check looks pretty clean , and without irregularities of the height of the staircase steps.
Do you see a difference between different quality settings ?
Your printer is pretty old - does the driver give you a 'microweave' option which Epson was offering for quite a while on photoprinters e.g. on the R800 or R265 ?
Do you see a difference when you use different papers - photo or matte papers when printing a photo ?
Did you do a printhead alignment recently ?
Since when do you observe the tiny white gaps - e.g. suddenly or after a particular problem ?

thanks for your input. One thing i have noticed is the media setting is on "plain paper" and I cannot get it to switch to another media setting....I used enhanced matte paper and I have used plain paper...the horizontal lines show up on both prints

I cannot get it to switch to another media setting.

Which system are you running ? Why can't you change over to another media setting in the driver ? Which software are you using to print ?

Can you run a printhead alignment via the driver on the mainentance tab and print your image again.

Try to do driver reinstall, remove uninstall it then download newest driver and install. Seems like some files are damaged.
