Printer Problems

[Greek One]

Recently I have had trouble with my printer. It will print a page or two
fine then it starts going wild and not printing anything ledgible. the
lights start flashing the rollers start squealing. I had something like this
before and it had a spooling virus. My virus software does not show
anything. I turned my settings on to print directly (not to spool) to
printer and it works fine. Is the corrupt file in my device driver or
windows? It does this in any program.
Thanks, Greek One

Check and change the cable that connects the printer to the computer.
This can occur when the "communication" cable is failing. This could
be an intermitted problem.
