Printed text misaligns

Epson C60 prints text that is misaligned horizontally every few lines. Not equidistant, maybe 6th line then 10th then 20th.Halfway down letter text shifts left or right, then ok for a few rows. No consistent pattern. Have done all utilities checks and reinstalled software - does any one have any ideas or should I bin it?!
