I am using a Canon ix4000 in Windows 10. Mostly in Photoshop CC.

My prints have developed unwanted regular horizontal lines across them at intervals of about 10mm. I have tried the various maintenance tools available on the software, without any improvement.

The Nozzle Check printout looks fine, but the photo prints still have the lines.
To try to improve matters I have now bought a new Canon Print Head and installed it, done the automatic print head alignment.
Still the problem persists. I can't think what else I can do.
I'll upload an example.
I see there is an item in the driver software which offers "Manual print head alignment". What is that? How can Ido it? Might it help?
Can you suggest any thing else to improve the quality? I have always used Canon inks. The driver is up to date.
Canon Support have got a bit snooty and won't help 'cos the printer is "no longer supported"!
Thanks.

Update.
Whilst the problem si not exactly solved I have discovered a "Work around".
I can get a line-free print by always printing on High Quality.
