Officejet 4500 Wireless Prints Garbled .pdf files

‎03-24-2012 03:12 PM

I've had this 4500 Wireless installed for a couple of months now, and I only noticed the problem recently when printing multi-page .pdf files. Usually it starts out printing fine, but after a page or so it will start printing random characters, but still keeping the right format. Sometimes there is a line interspersed that is correct, but the majority of it is just garbage. I am running Windows XP SP3. Any idea what is causing this?

Thanks for the article; is there any solution other than connecting with a USB? It kind of defeats the purpose of having a wireless printer.
