Nozzlings!!

This looks to me like a dirty feed roller or platen problem. I kind of
doubt your print nozzles are causing this, but I could be wrong.

This is a variety of the famous blue lines symptom on Epson machines,
thus they can be black as well (your case)
The reason the print head is dirty, even if there in no apparent
clogging. The solution consist in taking out the print heads of the
printer and soak them with a solution of half - water half ammonium.

I don't think the solution is quite so drastic.

The head simply has debris (dust and paper fibers) mixed with ink on the
bottom of the head. Simply put the printer in the head cleaning mode (hold
down one or another of the front panel buttons, or initiate from the driver)
and then unplug the power cord. (This gets the print head out of the "parked"
position, which is not possible without getting the printer to print,
somehow.)

Take a lint-free cloth, soak it with a little alcohol and wipe down the
bottom of the print head. Repeat until the cloth is clean.

This should do it.

Good luck,
