Printing binary code with meassage??

[vid345]

Hello,
Printing any thing from the internet or emails now come with all the binary code. A simple 1 line email has 2 pages of code with the message buried in it. Just started a few days ago??? Printing is okay from programs. I am using XP to a samsung laser printer. Can this be fixed without a reinstall??

Try deleting the printer and reinstalling it
What printer driver are you using ?
What is the model of your printer ?

If you have the option when you delete the printer from device manager, delete the driver as well.

I'm guessing some formating in the output from IE is causing errors in translation.

Hi: I deleted and reinstalled printer, same results. However I am using IE as my browser and also have Mozilla loaded for backup. When I use Mozilla to print the email it comes out correct no binary code, suggests IE is the problem?? My Samsung is ML2510 model.

Hi: I tried using my backup browser Mozilla to print the same email as IE and it came out perfectly. Guess IE is doing the nasty stuff not the printer. Is this a fixable or not. Thanks for the help

Have you installed Samsung's printer driver or used the one that XP detected ?
