printing garbage

Occasionally after a printed document is cancelled when
the paper supply has run out, the next time the computer
is booted up and the printer turned on, I get pages
of "garbage" (strings of symbols, etc.), often with only
one line of "text" printed on each page. Clearing the
print queue, shutting down, restarting, deleting the
printer and re-adding the printer do not seem to help
clear the queue. This has happened before, but I can't
remember what I ended up doing to fix it. Can anyone
suggest a fix? Please email me at meversmeyer@knology.net

Thanks!

Printing Garbage

Posted: 07-18-2007, 09:05 PM

Just recently it seems that our local machines are printing garbage on
a networked HP printer. I have updated the drivers and have searched
around and still haven't found anything. I finally broke down and
called HP but all they told me was that I needed to check the
connection and reinstall the drivers... check... and it still didn't
work. All the other local machines can print perfectly it's only two
computers running XP Pro SP2. They are both near the same cube. Has
anyone else had this problem and if so any possible solutions. If
you can help me please find me at david at pfnloans .dot. com thanks

Had a similar problem with one of our machines, the resolution was to remove
the printer in XP, get the updated drivers from HP and then reinstall the
printer using the updated drivers.
