Horizontal lines in color printouts...please help me out.

My PSC 2110 ticked me off for the last time, and while I didn't take a bat to it, I decided I needed a new AIO printer. Unfortunately I can't afford a great one, so I settled for the Wallyworld special.

However, my test printout leaves a lot to be desired. I'd like to know what exactly is causing the horizontal lines in the color printouts. This is very annoying. See http://www.jella.net/bin/scanner.jpg for a scanned image of the test printout. It's a large file, about 800k, I wanted you to be able to see what I am talking about. Also the black text has visible "softness" to it. If you focus on the woman and the pics above her, you can see what I am talking about. Could this be an alignment issue, or an issue with the cartridges? I am using, so far, the ones that came with the printer. I remember seeing this very same thing with my grandmother's Lexmark from the very beginning.
