1. What did the new driver do that you could not
do beforehand? You can temporarily disable it
by renaming it and rebooting (although you may
get an error message File Not Found.)
2. One or more font files may have been
corrupted. In what font were you printing
(e.g.a Windows font or a WP font) ?

This behavior is usually the result of either an incorrect driver being
selected for a printer, or the driver having become corrupted or broken
in some manner. Maker sure you are getting the correct driver running
for your printer, by checking which driver is tapped and where it is a
default printer driver or not, or being selected when appropriate.

If the driver seems to be the correct one, I'd consider removing
(uninstalling) and reinstalling it.
