Why is my K550 not printing the words. It's printing random unintelligible letters

My printer is printing out weird letters instead of the words on the page.  How do I correct this?

The troubleshooting page here may help.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

    Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Check a printable area of your printer.
    Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
    you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
    ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
    the white borders around the printed rectangle.

  • HP Laserjet P2055dn prints the word JOB first

    I have installed  HP Laserjet P2055dn as a local printer. But when I print a document, it prints the word 'JOB' first before printing my document. I wanted to know how to stop this option. Thank you in advance.

    Yes and No. Yes, its fixed but not me. The printer resolved itself. (I don't know how). The last thing I remember is that after setting the default paper size (A4), I tried printing without changing the paper size in the printer settings, I left it as default, hit the print button, then voila! It's fixed! no more "JOB" on the first printed paper. I hope will someone will help us soon. It's been a while.

  • Why is this query not using the index?

    check out this query:-
    SELECT CUST_PO_NUMBER, HEADER_ID, ORDER_TYPE, PO_DATE
    FROM TABLE1
    WHERE STATUS = 'N'
    and here's the explain plan:-
    1     
    2     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3     | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
    4     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5     | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    6     |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| TABLE1 | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    7     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8     
    9     Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
    10     ---------------------------------------------------
    11     
    12     1 - filter("STATUS"='N')
    There is already an index on this column, as is shown below:-
         INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE     UNIQUENESS     TABLE_NAME     COLUMN_NAME     COLUMN_POSITION
    1     TABLE1_IDX2 NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1      STATUS     1
    2     TABLE1_IDX NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1     HEADER_ID     1
    So why is this query not using the index on the 'STATUS' Column?
    I've already tried using optimizer hints and regathering the stats on the table, but the execution plan still remains the same, i.e. it still uses a FTS.
    I have tried this command also:-
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('GECS','GEPS_CS_SALES_ORDER_HEADER',method_opt=>'for all indexed columns size auto',cascade=>true,degree=>4);
    inspite of this, the query is still using a full table scan.
    The table has around 55 Lakh records, across 60 columns. And because of the FTS, the query is taking a long time to execute. How do i make it use the index?
    Please help.

    If the cardinality is really as skewed as that, you may want to look at putting a histogram on the column (sounds like it would be in order, and that you don't have one).
    create table skewed_a_lot
    as
       select
          case when mod(level, 1000) = 0 then 'N' else 'Y' end as Flag,
          level as col1
       from dual connect by level <= 1000000;
    create index skewed_a_lot_i01 on skewed_a_lot (flag);
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'SKEWED_A_LOT', cascade => true, method_opt => 'for all indexed columns size auto');Is an example.

  • Why are my videos not playing the right way up

    Why are my videos not playing the right way up

    I took four video clips while on a trip this week.  Two are oriented the right way (playing wide on the device and imported correctly).  The other two are Tall and not oriented right.  Orientation is 90 degrees to the right.  I don't know why this is happening on occasions.  Even some pictures I took did the same **** thing.  It's weird.  And I can't figure it out.  The camera is held the way I want the pictures and videos to be recorded and played but something internal is turning these videos and pictures 90 degrees clockwise.

  • HP8610 does not offer the option to reverse print order

    The HP8610 does not offer the option to reverse print order. I downloaded the HP8600 driver and was able to do this. Will the driver for the HP8610 be updated to include this anytime soon?

    Apple also need to be told about such issues:

    I've found that the Music Search function has been crippled in recent months - it no longer dynamically updates the list on the right as you enter letters.

  • Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD.

    Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD. Also, could be better if IPHOTO Album could access "inspector tool" with ability to change the slide duration time and apply a random "Transitions" to specific slide.

    Are you sharing an album of photos or a slideshow to iDVD?  If it's an album then what you get in iDVD is just a slideshow with the photos in it where you have to set the transition and slide timing unless you add music and select fit to audio.
    Don't know what you mean by the template format unless you're referring to the themes in a slideshow? If you share a slideshow the ss is converted to a Quicktime movie file and that is added to the iDVD menu window.  No changes are possible.

  • I tried to follow the instruction of buying iphone apps without a credit card, when I selected United States, but when I fill up the credit card info, i could not find the word "None". Anyone know what should I do?

    I tried to follow the instruction of buying iphone apps without a credit card. I follow the steps and I selected United States, but when I fill up the credit card info, i could not find the word "None". Anyone know what should I do?

    When you tried to contact Support with the card's images how were you trying to do it, on your phone or a browser on your computer ? And have you tried a different browser to see if you get the same error message ?
    As well as images of the card they might also want an image of its receipt.
    And to contact Support you were using : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , and clicked on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes ?

  • Why my ipad can not update the ios7.1.1

    why my ipad can not update the ios 7.1.1

    Hello there, crivera350.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for if you are unable to update your iOS device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
