When a printer prints, it does it in "stripes" across the paper. If those stripes do not match up perfectly, you will get the effect you are seeing. If the ink is getting low, that can cause the stripes.
If the head of the printer is not prefectly aligned, that can cause the effect. Most printers come with a ultility that you can run to realign the head.
If the head needs cleaning, that can cause the effect. Check the manual (or web site) for cleaning instructions.
If the printer is having a hard time feeding the paper, that can cause it to be slightly off and give a stripe effect. Clean the rollers that feed the paper. Try a different brand/type of paper.

You probably need a new ink cartrige.
Try cleaning your print heads first though. My epson does the same (different model though) and that can rescue it for a while.

are you using the right setting for the paper you are using, or running low on ink

You are almost out of ink.
