Whenever I turn the printer on it just keeps printing little weird symbols like one or two lines per page and then goes to the next page and does the same thing just different symbols and it goes on and on and on.

The printer may be short on memory. I doubt it is upgradeable though unfortunately

Try this:
Click Start, then internet explorer, then tools, then internet options, advanced tab, reset button, a new window appears then reset, close Ok.

Your driver on your computer is bad, power off the printer, (your printer will not stop printing the gibberish). Download the driver through your control panel. Once you go through the steps to set up the new driver, it'll print out a test print. *It'll ask you if you want the new driver as your default printer, say yes. I would delete the bad driver after you set up the new driver.

This sounds like a test print. Are the membrane switches torn or depressed on the front panel? If you hold down LF or FF as you turn on the printer, you will get this same test pattern printed. You can also try reseating the connection between the front panel to the logic board along the left front corner of the printer.

check your printer settings. go to preview print page before printing. Might have to uninstall printer and reinstall it again. Hope that helps You.

This sounds like a corrupt print driver. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.
