Every so often, the printer starts printing gibberish (weird symbols, page feeds, nothing that' s on the screen). I've tried rehooking cables, etc., but to no avail. Usually, after some period of time, it returns to normal. Has anyone else had a similar problem. Does anyone know how to fix this problem ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
