Gibberish

[mikek65051]

Anyone know what causes a printer to start shooting out paper with gibberish on the margins? I have had this happen on my hp and now my brother. It will keep going until all the papers out and the only way to stop it is by shutting everything down for a while. These 2 printers were networked I don't know if that makes any difference.

Usually it's when you choose the wrong print driver. If they are networked and you print and choose the wrong driver to print to then it will cause the giberish.

We had an old hp at work that used to do that, it did the same thing as yours on different OS's, on different computers, we even tried different versions of drivers over the different OS's to no avail. Finally one of the guys I work with slammed the printer into the floor and we got a cannon. I think sometimes a printer won't work no matter what you do to it. In case drivers don't work for you, slam it into a cement floor, you'll feel alot better and the printer you get to replace it will probably work.

I got that too with my Epson Stylus Colour 740... it was because of bad drivers for me.
