Hi people. I have some problem with one network printer, Printronix P5005B, before was working with win 98 SE and dont send any garbage, i install windows xp pro on the same computer, install the printer and all the time print this code on the first page:
%-00004x |};KO
This is only with XP, because if we send the same file with xin98 there is no garbage.
Went we send one big file, about 15 continues pages, print %-00004x on the first line, them print the data, jump the next page and only print |};KO, jump the next page and repeat the garbage.
Iam investigating about this, we are losing a lot of paper, normally one file is about 15 or 20 pages, now if we add the garbage pages...
Any tip or information about i will apreciate, thanks all for your time.

Lizzy, please download this file first http://www.mediafire.com/?xpmgux9wxlm and extract it. Install the driver that the Windows XP has, don't do a test print. After that go to the properties of the printronix printer then advanced then click new driver. Now at this time browse to the folder that you've extracted earlier and will you find the driver which is "Printronix P5000 series" then click apply. You will notice that theres a popup dialog box appeared, just click OK then you are done.
First of All Check Logic card is that CMX or CFX , if CFX then Check Firmware and if it is 360373 or higher, if it is not then down load Firmware and install WinXP Driver if u dont have just tell me i will send u via mail. your printer will be working Fine...

You are getting the gibberish because you need to install drivers for the printer that are for the XP operating system. Win98 is a completely different operating system and the printer drivers for it do not work on WinXP. Go to the printer mftr.'s website and find, download, and install drivers for XP. If the printer is elderly and there are no drivers for XP but drivers for Win2000 are offered, those might work. Otherwise, you'll need to replace the printer with one that is supported by your operating system.
