Printing garbage on computer shutdown
Greetings to everyone in the sevenforums,
I have a problem I need your help with.
I am using Win 7 Ultimate x86 and everytime I shutdown my computer, my printer prints 2-3 pages with one line garbage characters.
I had a Lexmark E250d laser printer with this problem, contacted Lexmark and they said that the problem lies with the printer spooler service of windows. Somehow it collects garbage during it's use and flushes them all out through the printer at computer shutdown. Now I have a Lexmark 350 in it's place and it is doing the same thing, so it's not the printer, as I have also updated it's drivers.
Through this computer I also connect remotely to virtual machines. Could that play a role in creating the problem? Transferring the documents for printing through the remote desktop?
I have also used the .bat file from the relevant tutorial to stop, clear and restart the print spooler service with no luck. The problem remains
Any advice on how I could deal with this issue?
