Re: after jamming, HP 1160 printing gobbledigook!

I forgot to mention I'm running Windows 2000. I did pause and purge the printer, but I
don't remember if I turned it off in between. Anyways, the problem continued a little
longer then stopped so perhaps that was the solution. I'll remember this for the next
time it happens. Thanks to both of you for the suggestions.
