I have come accross this issue at work twice in the last week. We have recently rolled out Windows 2000 to a lot of users, both as upgrades and replacement PCs. In some instances, when printing to a local printer or to a network printer via LPT capture/mapping, the printer spits out a page with a single line of random characters, few of which are part of the Roman alphabet. Looks like a cross between wingdings and symbols, with a couple normal letters thrown in. I get just one line of this, at the top, and sometimes not even a full line. If I get multiple pages, it's sometimes just one or two characters in the corner.
I have had this issue with an LJ5 hooked up locally and an LJ8150 on the network. But it's only when using a program that prints to LPT1, so it seems to be related to local printing so far.
Unfortunately, I don't have much expertise in 2000 workstations, so if anyone has seen this, please let me know. Thanks!
