I've recently bought a i9100, and I've noticed similar problems. See <A href="http://www.toomanybooks.org/canon9100">here</a> for some sample scans of 5x7 prints. (And yes, when scanning in a printout there's always the risk of introducing new artifacts, depending on the resolutions of printer and scanner. All I can say is that the pictures I see on the screen look like the problems I'm seeing on the actual prints.)

Took it to a Canon service centre, who replaced the print head without noticably affecting the image quality.
Is there a banding problem with the Canon i9100 printer?

Time for a refund, I think.
