It seems that one nozzle gets semi-clogged. I think, rather than being clogged there is crud built up that deflects the ink slightly. Roll a small square of cotton cloth (T-shirt) the diameter of a pencil, and about two inches long. Soak it in Windex Lay it in the head ways and drag the head back and forth across three or four times. (You will have to determine where the head release catch is under the head carriage of your 2200.) If the lines are still there leave the head resting on the cloth for a few minutes. Do a cleaning cycle and test. AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 4th ed.
