MG 3522 printer can't align

[BigPlayDave]

Please help!

I have a MG 3522 printer and no matter what I've tried, I can't get the lines aligned. Situation mysteriously appeared, and I've tried almost 10 times to auto-align print heads, manually align, hard reset the machine, etc.

For clarity, if I print a calendar page in landscape mode, hold the paper in landscape orientation, the lines that go from left to right appear to jump down and then back up as they go across the page. Kind of like this:

____------______------______------______------

____------______------______------______------

Note that (in landscape orientation) the vertical lines are perfectly straight. In Portrait mode, the vertical lines are skewed, while the horizontal lines are straight.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
