Canon Pixma MX870 printing with horizontal lines

[Emilio]

Recently my printer has begun printing with even horizontal lines across the whole page. I've tried cleaning and deep cleaning, but neither have fixed the problem. Attached is the print nozzle check pattern: http://i.imgur.com/JrLZWgN.jpg . You can see a line between all the letters, and especially on the first rectangle.All ink cartridges are at a decent level as well.

What can I do?
