Re: Print server prints gibberish

Buy a new print server or perhaps a new printer?

Seriously, if nothing's changed then something is broke.

Can you print a config page from the printer itself?

One thing you could check, printers often have a hex dump mode, so
that they print the hex version of any data they get instead of the
actual character. But honestly, it doesn't sound like that's the
problem.

Only other thing I can think to check would be the printer's emulation setting.

Good Luck,
Charles

I have an AXIS 540 print server connected to an IBM 6400 printer and it's sending out gibberish. That is, test pages and configuration pages from the print server itself print dollar signs and random letters with some over-striking of characters. Spooled files print the same way.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? It used to work just fine.
