Every once and a while (say, every few months), the printer starts to produce gibberish (lots of weird characters, page feeds, most anything but the text I'm trying to print). I've tried checking cables, turning the machine on and off, and most everything I can think of. This goes on for several days/weeks, until one day it stops Has anyone had this problem? I had similar problems with an ImagewriterI I had before. Does anyone know how to fix it? HELP. John Walsh U33695@UICVM.BITNET Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
