When I print an attachment or a mail, the network printer prints weird characters and keeps on printing non stop. But when I print it from another computer, there's no problem.

anyone can help?

thanks and regards,

from the pc giving difficulty: what do you get when you print a test page from the default printer? Go to Printers folder, right click on printer with a check mark (default), choose properties, choose print test page...
do you get garbage then? ...compare driver on bad to driver on good?

The computer that generates garbage on the network printer has a problem.

I've seen this before and the only sure way to permanently fix this problem, is to reimage the computer. Others have tried a reinstall of the whole Office suite, and Internet Explorer. And I've had some (temporary success though) with installing IE 6.0 SP1 that has resolve this one time.... but it reoccurred and we ended up re-imaging the system to permanently resolve it.

The network printer is fine, the driversare the same used on other computers and they are fine, something in the computer software has gotten corrupted.
