Garbage Printed

Check cable connection
Check that the printer and/or network cables are securely connected to
the printer. If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is also firmly
connected to the computer.

Check printer setup
Make sure your HP 2500C Series printer is selected as the current or
default printer.

Check document file
Your document may be corrupted. Try printing another file from the
same software application.

Disable bi-directional communication or stop sharing printer port
with another device
A probable cause for this problem is that there is a conflict between
the printer and other port sharing devices such as zip drives or
scanners.

If you are running Windows 3.1, do not share the printer port with
another device.
If you are running Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0, disable bi-directional
printing.

1. Remove all media from trays 1, 2 and 3. Pull out any paper that is
