Expert: Rundletech - 10/26/2006

Question
I have installed my Hp Deskjet 3820 printer correctly, it will print out the test page ok, but when I go on like notepad or other places to write a letter, and testing it with just a couple words, all I get is a bunch of foreign type writing, pages of it, for example: %%BeginResource: file Pscript_WinNT_ErrorHandler 5.0 0  currentpacking where (pop/oldpack currentpacking Def/ and just keeps printing pages of the same thing, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or the computer is doing wrong, Thank You,  Vicki

Answer
Vicki, you have used an improper driver. The driver must match that of your computers operating system. If it does match and still does this then there is a problem with the driver. You must go to the manufacturer of your printer and download a new driver.

Before installing the new driver, delete the printer.
You will need to do this as well:
1) download a trial version of System mechanic
2) run System mechanic's registry clean to clean it out. Be sure the printer has been deleted before doing this.
3) Reboot your computer install the new driver
