Why does printer print symbols

Hope that helps? Thanks again Sean I think we're getting nearer a solution, but not quite yet lol. Speaking of Options I've been told pushing my monitor out the 2nd storey window isn't acceptable.

Hi It sounds like you dont have a postscript printer. What printer are you printing it to? When you say attachments, have you tried saving the file to disk before printing? What type of file is it you are printing? The most important step you should take, however, is to cancel the print job and stop the seemingly endless stream of garbage pages.

Canceling should stop the printing shortly thereafter. Once the strange printing has stopped and power is restored to the printer, try printing the page again.

This is important, as it will tell you whether or not the issue was a temporary fault or is a persistent problem. If the same file prints again as garbage, cancel the print job as before and send a different print job. The second print job will tell you if the problem lies with the file or with the communication between you and the printer.
