Xerox Printer spits out message

[Guest Greg G]

I have a Xerox Phaser 1235 color printer that every day spits out 25-40 pages

of unreadable garbage. One line per page. Users do not print this, it comes

out on its own. A few lines are readable they mention:

SMB - PC Network Program 1.03 - Microsoft Networks 1.03

I cannot seem to stop this stuff from coming out. Has anyone seen this

behaviour with this model of printer?

Usually, garbage characters are due to a driver problem. Download the latest

driver from Xerox and remove all old drivers from your server/workstation.

If that doesn't help, see whether you can trace where the print job is

coming from - or, call Xerox support.

I have seen this behaviour before from a printer many years ago in a

different organisation, so cannot access any record of it.

My memory tells me that someone had sent the printer a document in a dialect

of Postscript or PCL which was too advanced for the printer firmware.

I found it impossible to kill the print-out, prevention was the only cure.
