Printing Garbage
Hi. I need help on fixing the printing of garbage characters (multiple pages, one line) from one of the computeres connected to the network. This is the setup:
- An HP printer (HP LaserJet M2727 MFP Series PCL 6) is connected to a printer server, as many other printers we have
- PCs connected to the same local area network are connected to those printers.
But one station, cannot print properly to the HP printer (HP LaserJet M2727 MFP Series PCL 6). Everything it prints to that printer comes out as one-liner, multiple-page garbage printouts.
Everything it prints to the other printers comes out perfectly fine.
All the other PCs printing the same document to that printer (HP LaserJet M2727 MFP Series PCL 6), prints out perfectly alright.
What could be wrong? Please help. Thanks very much for anticipated responses from you geniuses out there..

I have tried installing and re-installing the drivers on the 'misbehaving machine'.
I have also tried deleting then adding the printer again on the 'misbehaving machine'
Really lost here. Thanks.

Try the following...
Click Start>Printers and Faxes>Delete the printer> Click File>Server Properties>Click on the Drivers Tab and delete the driver of that printer. Then re-add the printer again through the setup wizard.

I will do the recommended solutions as soon as the PC is free. Right now, the user has deadlines and can't have the PC to myself to fix.
I will post my updates as soon as I get the results. Thanks so much for now.

Hey michko.
Your suggested solution worked. I finally was able to print just a few minutes ago (after waiting for the PC to become free). You are a wizard, indeed. Thank you very much

Glad I could help, appreciate the comment.

If that doesn't work, then install the printer as a local printer and then change the port that the printer is set up on to be the printer's actual network port.
Also, check every option screen in the printer properties against the properties of the printer on a computer that works. What we are looking for here is any difference, no matter how trivial, between a computer that prints and the computer that does not.
Hope this helps!
