Check connections and cable - try another cable. You can also try linking it direct to a laptop or desktop.

Any text I print comes out as series of apostrophes, question marks, stars and all sorts of simples and characters. I don't have any language packs installed on my computer. My HP printer is linked to my home network through a Vigor router, and I'm getting the same print out results using either of my laptops which are running on XP SP2. I've no idea what's causing this nor where I can go and look for clues. The only thing I've tried so far was restarting all the devices and needless to say that it didn't work. And ah, the printer was working ok up to a week ago. Any help please? Even an idea on where to start from would be grate! Thanks for any thoughts I may receive! AmroB
