HP Laserjet 1100 printing jobs that dont exists anymore

[Guest]

I don't know if here is the right place to do a post about this problem, if
not, i apologise.
I have a home network of 7 pcs with one shared printer, an HP LaserJet 1150.
Sometimes, now more often than ever, my printer in the middle of some job
(sent locally or across the network) prints a file that were on another pc
(the file was printed once long time ago). The "phantom file" was an excel
file of 2 pages. It prints the first page and appears exactly as the
original, with no garbled or damaged areas.


First i rename the file and eventually i move it to the desktop, but still
continues to appear.
I checked the cable that connects the printer to the pc twice.
The driver seems to be up to date. And i check that there's no files at the
spool.
I think that could be some malware, so i check it out without any results.
This weird print is unexpected, and could pass a week without notice, but it
reappears. Its not harmfull but can be very annoying when im late and this
happens. Any ideas?

I am sure that you have already done this but have you switched the printer
off and unplugged it completely and left it for 10 minutes or so? If not
then try that.

Yes, when i checked the cables i unplugged them and clean the connectors to
check theres nothing in the middle. Also every night i unplug the electricity
cords
I Know that it is a strange issue. Today i erase all the drivers from every
pc and replace it with the manufacturer drivers that provides on his website.
And does not happen all the time, but every week or so, i have the problem of
phantom file again.
Thanks Leny for answering, every suggestion is useful. I'm running out of
options and i don't know what more to do...
