If the lines are horizontal and not vertical, it's banding, not pizza wheels
(which are also only a problem on glossy paper).  Be sure the nozzle checks
are perfect.

Sorry, forgot to mention: what's odd is that I'm not even using glossy 
paper. My basic test paper is Epson Photo Quality Inkjet paper (matte). 

Thanks,
Robert.
