Reinstall Windows XP - HP printer print sometimes gibberish

I had to reinstall windows XP sp3 caused by a virus.  I have formatted and reinstalled windows disk.  I installed the drivers required from Dell (Dimension 4700).  Everything seemed to work correctly after the installation of windows all updates.  I then installed the HP Officejet Pro L7650 AIO software.  Now sometimes when I print, I get gibberish.  I can usually get it works by re-printing of the document.  Files PDF and excel spreadsheet appears to print correctly.  (Fax cover page) Word documents and web pages seem to have a problem.  The document will be printed with all formatting intact, but the words will be gibberish.  I don't think it's a problem of HP, but think I might be missing a step after the re-installation.   Any ideas?

  • Impression of Windows 7 - cannot print on anything, spooler running.

    Windows 7 Home Deluxe

    latest updates of Windows.

    Printing/scanning device HP AllinOne.

    Print everything to the driver file.

    First the printer print a status page of the HP application, connectivity is good. Scans also work.

    I am trying to print to the printer from any application - Word, Outlook, browser, does nothing.

    No error message, nothing in the spooler.

    Tried printing to a file using the printer default XPS, nothing there, too.

    Spooler is running,

    So I suspect something in the spooler/printing subsystem is corrupt.

    Any suggestions on what to get?

    Thank you

    I finally found the problem, it was the permissions on files to print.

  • Windows 7 - Add printer does not work

    I recently tried to install a new printer on a laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate.  After trying this, I can no longer add a new printer or print to my existing printers.  If I try to add a new printer, a message appears saying:

    Cannot install the printer.  The print processor does not exist.

    If I try to print to an existing printer, the computer claims that the printer does not exist.  Is it a good way to "reset" the Windows printing subsystem?  I'm really at my intelligence end with this question and don't want to be forced to reinstall Windows to correct this problem.

    I checked the Windows spooler service and it is running and doesn't seem to be generating errors in the event viewer.  I also met some previous posts that said you may be able to install a new printer with a generic driver first and then change it, but it does not.  Eventually a recommendation on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi AnimeDayDreamer,

    (a) what is the brand of your printer that you are trying to install?
     
    (b) you are trying to connect the printer to a network?
     
    Use your administrator account to install the printer and print.

    If this does not help, temporarily disable all security software and then try to install the printer and print from the printer, follow the steps mentioned below
     
     

    Note: Allow all security software after you perform the troubleshooting steps.
    If disabling the security software doesn't help, printer Uninstall completely from programs and features. After that, restart the computer and re-install the latest compatible drivers and check if you are able to install.
    If nothing helps, you can create a new user account and install the printer.

    Create a new user account
