Printer printing garbage text

I have an Officejet Pro L7580 All-In-One, connected to a desktop computer running Windows XP. I've a rather strange problem that has happened sporadically in the past, and recently more freqently. When printing information from the web (as far as I can recollect, it only happens here) , it prints out an unreadable montage of assorted letters and punctuations - some letters even overwrite others (Ex: Vt f !x i  f 0; Sppn !jt po!boe!). Hmmm, no language I recognize. Even odder, sometimes with a multi page document, several pages are garbage, while the rest are normal! Any idea what the cause might be? I use McAfee virus protection and have ran spybot and Microsoft Malicious Software Removal, which report nothing. (Oh, currently using Internet Explorer 8). Help, please!!

Hi
First chek if you can print from  different application.If you are able to print from different application then the issue is with the printer communication.  You can refer to the below document
http://whp-java.extweb.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01954177&lc=en&cc=ie&dlc=en
If issue only printing from Web then try with a different browser lik Firefox or Safari
please let us know if the issue perisits

  • Garbage text prints when printing documents from InDesign

    I am encountering an odd error when printing from InDesign 4.0.4 (CS2) to some HP printers (HP 4650 and 2430n). Some documents print just fine with no problems. But a couple of documents will either never print, or when they do print, they print a line or few of garbage text (black diamonds, smiley faces, etc.) per page, plus some blank pages, and it will run through tons of paper when it does this.
    I've found the following document which describes my problem pretty closely.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument? docname=c00028613&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
    The problem is that I have set the Graphics to print as ASCII, and this problem still occurs. Could it be a problem with a particular EPS file printing or something? This document (with all of the included text, EPS images, etc) become fairly sizeable, such as 150 MB in size. The HP 4650 has 512 MB of memory, whereas the HP 2430 has 64 MB of memory.
    I printed this same problem document from another computer, with all of the same settings in InDesign, and it printed with no problems.
    Any idea on what is going on here?

    Hello Chad,
    Do you know if the two printers support PostScript? It sounds like they don't and therefore they will be using filters to convert the PS data from InDesign into a format that it understood by the printer. It will be in this conversion process that something will be going astray and that will cause the corrupted output. Try running a Repair Disk Permissions to see if this helps.
    I don't believe the amount of RAM will cause the problem, it should only impact the speed at which the document can be spooled from the Mac. However, if the error is only occuring from InDesign and when working with large files, then it may have something to do with it. But if the other PC is okay then it may rule out the RAM. What print language is the other PC using to print to the HP's?
    Regards,
    Paul

  • [SOLVED] Printer prints garbage text - Error with pstoraster

    I have a Epson Stylus C43SX printer, which is connected to LPT#1.
    When I try to print something, the printer will print garbage text.
    From cups manager browser interface ( http://localhost:631 ), if I try to print the test page, it prints out garbage.
    If I select 'Print self-test page', the cups manager reports an error -
    "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"
    The description of printer, as seen on cups manager page -
    Description: Epson Stylus C43SX
    Location:
    Printer Driver: Epson Stylus C43SX - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.1

  • Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

    I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
    But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
    I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
    Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

    What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

  • How can I print off a text message conversation?

    I have to print off a text message conversation and I was wondering if there is any other way to print them off instead of using screen shots?

    An alternate utility you may want to look into is DigiDNA's Disk Aid. You install it on a computer, Mac or PC, connect you phone to it and are able to back up everything on the phone and have access to all the stuff in there. Not free but really worth every penny. Free if you work or study in higher ed.

  • How can i print out old text messages?

    how can i print out old text messages?

    As Ann said, it does depend on your phone.  One third party app that works on many phones (especially older models, but not all phones) is BitPim ( http://www.bitpim.org/ ) but it can potentially harm/brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing - use it with caution.  I have used it successfully to get texts and photos off an old flip phone that was deactivated and had no sd card.
    Newer smartphones can download apps that will give you the ability to print out texts.

  • How do I print only the text on the monitor screen?

    I would like to be able to print only that portion of a text that is on the monitor screen. How do I do that?
    I have an Epson Workforce 325 printer, and an HP desktop computer PC

    Please see the following to print only the text portion of the web page. I am assuming you wish to print just the text & not the ads or additional irrelevant items to avoid wasting ink.

  • I can't print only selected text since upgrading to Firefox 8.0. Using Mac OS Lion

    Until Firefox 8.0, I could select text on any webpage and print only that text. Now, I can't even get a print dialog box with an option to "Print Selection" only.
    I also recently upgraded to OS Lion (from OS Leopard) on Mac. Any chance that that is the problem or is it in Firefox? I've seen lots of help requests on this site from other people with problems printing selected text from websites.

    Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
    There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
    The problem remains.

  • HT3529 Is there a free option to printing out multiple text messages from one person?

    is there a free option to printing out multiple text messages from on person?

    Printing from the iPhone either requires an AirPrint compatible printer, or an app from the App Store. You would have to search to see if they are free or cost. Also, the printing of text messages would either require you to make a screen shot of the message and to print that as a photo, or you would need a 3rd party software on the computer to copy the entire message to the computer and print from there. There is no native print capability for entire message threads.

  • Printing Form Header Text in Smartforms

    Hi,
    I have created smartform for SD module.I am printing Form header text in a window by using loop.I am getting the text with the help of READ_TEXT  function module.It comes as we type in Form header.But the problem is if they type more than 15 lines it is not printing.I want to print the rest of the lines in next page.How to do this?

    Hi,
    In smartforms, only the main window is a dynamically varying one.
    So give your include text concept in the main window..
    so that if your text increases more than a page, it will be printed in the next line..
    You can maintain your text in so10 transaction.. with text id and text name..
    using include text u can simply give the Id and text name in forms, you will get the enetered text.
    regards,

  • How can I print  the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow?

    hi all,
    in charts (line, column, etc.) i want display the figures (plott points) without cast shadows. Although the cast shadow option in the format bar isn´t aktiv, there is always a lighlty cast shadow when i´m printig the document and in my opinion it looks bad.
    isn´s it possible to print the figures (text) of a column chart without a cast shadow? btw: the same effect in pages.
    thx a lot
    rudi

    Hi rudiRocket,
    Welcome to Numbers discussions.
    Yes I see what you're talking about, never noticed it. To remove the shadow I tried numerous fonts but, still the shadow. Let's hope someone else has a better answer. Be aware folks on these Discussion boards are, as yourself end users not Apple employees.
    In the mean time please read the below instructions:
    Send feedback directly to the Numbers team for enhancement requests: at the top of your screen to the right of the blue Apple please click "Numbers" > "Provide Numbers Feedback". Explain in detailed what you've found. This makes your request known to the Numbers team directly; don't expect to hear back from them. I've sent many as well.
    Let's hope the next version of iWork incorporates many of the requested enhancements.
    Thank you in advance for doing that.
    Again, welcome to Numbers Discussions, have fun here.
    Sincerely,
    RicD
