I have a Konica Minolta bizhub c250 connected to a linksys router, up until about a week ago everything worked fine, how ever all of a sudden the windows 7 machine (desktop) i use to print to the bizhub suddenly stopped printing from the internet and mS office 2010, however it still printed pictures just no text, and if the .doc was text only it just printed 3 thin black lines two at the top and one at the bottom. Whats odd is that test pages print fine from said computer, Notepad prints text just fine, but i can not get the machine to print text from ms office 10 or anything off the internet, even after a reinstall, i can print to the bizhub just fine from ms office 2010 on 3 laptops running windows 7 on 2 and vista on 1, it was odd however, a file made on affected desktop when transferred to the vista laptop the laptop began displaying the same peculiar problem, i have run: malwarebytes, spybot search and destroy, ccleaner, AVG, comodo antivirus, nod 32, esset online scanner, combofix... several others ... and i ran hijack this and went over the log with a fine tooth comb and found nothing out of ordinary operating. HELP!

Did you change the 'font'?

To repair Office 2010 in Windows 7:
•Click the (Windows) Start button, then click Control Panel.
•Open the Programs and Features control panel.
•Select your version of Microsoft Office 2010.
Click Change near the top of the window.
•Wait while the window is loading, then click Repair.
•Click Continue and follow the instructions.

Hi ProfessorBean...

Check the printer preferences..You might also want to check the manufacturer site for updated drivers

ok well the printer preferences are all at default/manufacturer recommended, however there are no updated drivers, i am using the original one i have been using for the last year and it's never given me any trouble... i'm at a loss...
