ImageWriter II: Troubleshooting Garbled Printing


The printing on my ImageWriter II has become garbled garbage. It's missing
the page breaks and prints onto other pages. This happens after about 6 or
7 pages have printed. I've tried cleaning the platen and replacing main
circuit board.


This sounds like a handshake problem in communication between the computer
and the printer. It could be caused by a number of glitches, among them a
bad driver, bad cable, or printing software.

Try to recreate the problem using:

- a different computer with the same application and file
- a different printer  
- a different printer cable
