    Hello,

    I have a problem with Konica Minolta Bizhub C220.
    Twice the printer has printed some random text untill paper tray gets empty. I don't know what caused the printer to go nuts. Probably some bad driver, but how to determine, which computer caused it?

    Is the file a very large, multi-page PDF? Sometime the processor fails to RIP the entire document - resulting in that unusual text. Try pre-ripping the file before sending it to print.

    How to determine which computer caused it? Go from computer to computer and print a test page until you find the one that prints out this binary gibberish. Reinstall the driver at that computer.

    The old "ghost in the machine" theory, right? Try (1) power-cycling the printer and (2) disconnecting it from the network one night. I think that will purge the ghost. Reconnect the network the next morning and if the ghost returns, it's not the printer . . . it's a computer!
