Random Symbols on Pages I print

Whenever I print a document, it prints fine, but these random symbols keep appearing on the top left corner. There are clovers, letters, and punctuation marks. Sometimes theres alot, sometimes theres only a few. I cant figure it out.

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

This is most probably a corrupt driver so try the following:

1. Open Printers and Faxes on your computer and delete the driver for your printer. Then go to dell.com and open the drivers and downloads tab. Download and reinstall your printer. If the printer is still printing out symbols, it's most likely either a problem with your connection or with the printer's hardware.

2. Try using a different cable to connect the printer and computer. If you don't have one, connect and install the printer to another computer. If this stops the symbols then you will need to buy a new cable. If it does not then it is most likely a problem with the printer's hardware and you will need to get the printer serviced.

Thank you for using FixYa!

Epson Stylus T10 printer prints out random symbols from PDF file

When you attempt to print, make sure you are using the correct printer. If you had an old printer before, its name will be still in the printers' list.
and unknowingly you may be trying to print with that printer. To check this:
Goto the File Menu -> select Print-> Highlight the printer you are currently using, and then Print.
I am pretty sure this will solveyour problem.
If it does, give a rating to this answer.
Have a good day.

Printer says it is printing, but paper is blank

This sounds like a driver issue. Go to the following link and download new drivers, based on your Operating system (XP or Vista, etc).
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=441240&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en〈=en&cc=us&submit=Go%20»

Then go delete your printer from the list, and install the driver you download above. Reboot your computer and that should fix it. When you have the wrong printer driver, your computer doesn't send the correct instructions to the printer to print a document. So, you end up with blank pages or sometimes pages filled with random symbols.
