how do you clean the print heads?

This could be the effect of three possible reasons.
1. Your ink cartridges are running low. If this is true, you will need to change them. Make sure all of your ink is quite balanced.
2. Your printhead needs cleaning. After a long time of use, debris builds up on the ink heads and sometimes cloggs it up. To fix this, go to Print --> Properties --> Maintenence (or anything of that sort), and select Cleaning or Deep Cleaning. What this does is release smalls amounts of ink trying to clear up the debris.
3. Your printer quality is not set correctly. Although seeing you are quite knowledgable about your printer, this shouldnt be the case. Though still check you are not printing on draft.

Lines are "consistently" spaced every half inch. Ink is not low and the picture is not smudged. The down loaded photo has no lines in it. I suspect there is something in the downloaded image (software) that prevents printing a free (clear photo).
