HP DeskJet 890C Gibberish

Drumplayer59824 · 06-12-2007, 10:57 AM

I have a HP DeskJet 890C on a Windows XP computer. It likes to print off different characters that are not any language, just gibberish or something. If I cancel all documents in the print list and print it again, sometimes it will work, and sometimes it won't. I read somewhere that I should reinstall the print driver, which I will do, I just didn't know if this would work or not, and I didn't know if there was anything else I needed to know. Thanks so much!
P.S. Also, most of the documents that turn out like this are word documents, but not all of them.
