Good Morning Everyone! Last night my printer started acting weird. I tried printing a two page file, and when it was about halfways down the second page, it stopped printing. I reprinted again and left the printer by itself only to find that the printer had continued printing, but was now on like its 10th page, printing weird symbols like these: !#EE#@$%^&@@%@&*&% They come out all over the page, and even though I have already deleted all the files in the printing spool, it still continues to print like that. After refilling my printer with the same paper for like the 20th time, I decided to just shut off my printer. It took forever to turn off, and once you turn it back on it does the same thing. I have an Epson Presario 600 Q printer, and this is the first time I've ever had this problem. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much, and have an awesome day!

Stange printer behavior can result from the worng, or corrupt correct, drivers. Try deleting the printer and reinstalling it and its drivers.

It was probably a corrupted document. Clean your TEMP folder. Next time this happens just turn off the printer, then unplug it. This purges the memory in the printer so it doesn't print all that garbage. Reinstalling the driver is never a bad idea.
