MG5420 has lines after printing

My MG5420 all of a sudden has lines through it. I have cleaned the printer heads like suggested and aligned it, but it is still doing it. Any other suggestions?

Hi nsrush83,

Because printhead cleanings did not clear this, the issue could be caused bythe encoder/timing strip in your PIXMA MG5420 being dirty or smudged. To clean the encoder/timing strip, please follow the steps outlined in the following Knowledgebase Article available from Canon's web site:

https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART141266

If the issue persists, your PIXMA MG5420 would require service. You are eligible for Canon's Upgrade Program.
