Printer Only Prints Gobbledegook!

PeteHerts

Good evening everyone.
I had an Epson R200 which worked fine when I had it but I've given it to a friend because their printer was playing up and now the R200 is doing the same thing as their old printer.
Basically when you print from the web all the comes out is script or in other words the web page in word form rather than the way its layed out and no graphics. It appears to print text documents ok.
Any help would be appreciated and many thanks in advance.

Have you tried it back on your PC.

Soiunds like your mate has set it to print text only. Should be easy enough to sort out from the properties

Two printers both with the same fault... unlikely. I suspect the problem is with the setup/configuration within their computer. As suggested by Reggie Rebel, try the R200 back on your computer. Also, try 'their old printer' on your computer... you may find that works ok too.

Internet Explorer
Tools / Internet Options.

Select the Advanced tab and scroll down to Printing.

Check the options.


Try loading the latest drivers and check the options in there.

Hello all and thanks for all your replies.
I solved the problem by running Nortons online scanner. It found 1 problem that was within IE7. Once I deleted the offending item I rebooted and then IE7 reinstalled itself and now the printer is printing webpages as per normal and IE7 is now quicker.
