Printer Problems

Xenomorph · October 17th, 2001, 07:39

Anyone regognices the problem that my friend has?
When he tries print something (epson color 7??) it only prints
weird characters... it doesen't matter if we try print plain text or graphics... the drivers have been changed, cable checked, no virus... anyone know what's the problem? Window has probably messed up some drivers, but he wouldn't like to re-install...

The next thing that I'd check is the printers internal test page to chack to see if the printers to fault. I dunno how to do it on a 7XX but it should be explained in the manual. (normally hold down the power button for a few seconds)
