When printing in Word or Outlook, all of the "Y's" and some numbers are missing. The OS is windows 98 and the printer is a LJ HP 5si. Have no idea why this is happening. Need help fast. Thanks

Have you tried updating the print driver? The current version for the 5Si is v4.3.2.6, released Sept of 99. This solved a similar problem in Powerpoint for me...

You have 2 problems with your printers (one that you posted in a different question).
Looks like something is wrong with the printer itself not with the configuration.
Try removing and reinstalling the printer.
If you are using it over a network see if from the printer its connected to it prints correctly (if its connected locally).
If its connected with a print server (like jet direct) then remove it from the network and try it on a local computer.
Also call up HP TechSupport they are very helpfull most of the time.
