Take the 2-minute tour ×  Having some difficulty with a Windows
XP computer that only prints garbage, no matter which program is
used - even the test page comes out as garbage. I've tried
testing it using the XPS Document Writer, but the resulting
files are also corrupted. If I print to the Microsoft Office
Document Image Writer, the resulting TIFF files are fine.  I'd
rather not have to completely re-image the machine, but that's
the only option I've got left.  Any ideas?  share|improve this

The Lexmark E260dn supports both PCL and Postscript. If you are
using a PCL driver, try switching to the PS driver - or vice
versa.  Since it supports PCL5 and Postscript you can hand edit
very simple PCL5 and Postscript test pages and use Windows "lpr"
command to send them without passing through Window print
drivers. This can help narrow down the source of the problem.
Postscript test:  /Helvetica 24 selectfont 100 500 moveto
