Printer is printing in different language!

Well, not sure if it is the printer or the computer.... or something

Tried to print a NICE Document out, caught it halfway through printing (went to make a cuppa!), and it was printing an odd language.

The tables etc came out in english, but the rest of it came out in things like this:
N f ejdbrhsf



What's wrong with it?

BTW, prints fine when using word document!

Sounds like it may have sent the printer a control code (could have just been a non-english character).

Do you have a PDF writer? If so, print to that, then try printing the PDF document.

Have you tried doing a test print? You should have a troubleshooting file on your pc - right click on your printer icon.

Uninstalling and reinstalling it might do the trick
