Sadly, this sounds like the "stuck nozzle" issue which there seems only one real fix for, a new head.
If you wish to send me a jpeg of a 2 x 2" area or equivalent, showing the defect in question you may do that so I can see exactly what it is.
This type of defect may come and go for a white, cleaning will not help.
If this type of printing occurs outside of the margins of the image, raising the paper thickness lever doesn't help lessen or eliminate it, or it may dissappear when you use lower resolution printing, that implies the problem is as I stated above.
If you want to send me some print scan samples:

(at) = @ (dot) = .
The 880 is a 4 color printer, and the last one with no chip in the cartridge to prevent refilling, it isn't considered "photographic" although you'd be hard pressed to know by looking at normal viewing distances. 4 color printers save money and give a better color permanence in inks of similar types. It will not be an easy printer to replace.

Both of my four year old Epson Stylus Colour 880 inkjet printers have began printing photos with a series of equally spaced lines all the way down the page. I've used none Epson cartrages for most of their life. Many, many head cleans and a driver update have not resolved this problem. Is it likely they have come to the end of their useful life?
If I'm looking at replacing both of these, what would be a good photograph printer choice with regard to both quality output, speed and cartrage replacement costs.

Many thanks, an image is on its way to you for analysis. Perhaps I should mention that after every printer clean a test print was made.
