Prints computer jargon instead of what I see on the screen (on line only)

We need more information...

1.) What is the make / model of the printer?
2.) What is the O/S of the computer
3.) What kind of "jargon" (alphanumeric characters or symbols?)
4.) When was it last working? What changed since?

y'know.. things like that will help us help you with a solution.

Reset Symbol Recognition?

This happens because you have your enV text entry mode set to "Word". Undoubtedly, you did this for the same reason I did - to get T9 mode working when you text from the front keypad with the phone CLOSED, instead of from the QWERTY keyboard with the phone OPEN.

If you go to Messages->Settings->ALL Msg->Entry Mode and set it to Abc instead of Word, your problem should go away.
