Could you scan a printout and incorporate it in this article?
Please don't ask that way. That would mean to attach a binary and it is not
small trouble for the NG. Got to keep the bandwidth to reasonable levels. Much
better to upload to the space your ISP gives you and post a link in the
message. I guess we've already been thrown off one server because of that.

laser printer which prints horrible characters even
though it has been fed with an intelligible text. I have cheked the
drivers,(differnt drivers), tried it on a different computer but still
the problem persist. The same problem when I print from DOS. I need
help please. THANKS.
The HP 1100 is paralell, so if you use the SAME cable on each PC you try it on,
it is suspect. Most likely we're talking about one pin not making connection.
The very first thing to do is try another cable (if you did, sorry I missed
that).
If the problem is not the cable, it'll be in the board in the HP, not a
mechanical part. You said it prints, that means that system control is working,
the rollers, the drum, the heater, all of it is working. Leaves but one thing,
the decoder circuitry.
Fixing that is <u>FORGET IT</u>. Better to find a used board. These things had
more then their share of paper jams, so I'm told, so you might be able to get
one cheap if someone decided to FUBAR one up because he got pissd off.
These things are 4 years old now and you're getting close to the point where
you'll give somebody $20 and plug the board in and it will work. I own an 1100+
and I kinda like it. Not a bad printer at all, so don't throw it out.
