How do I print to a Windows based printer from my Mac? -

I ve already downloaded the necessary drivers, but when I try to print to our office s printer, it gives me 10 pages of blank paper and two pages of computer junk. Judging by what the printer is printing, the Mac is sending information on how to print and not what to print. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Macs have traditionally have only supported Postscript printing. Likewise for Unix/Linux on which OSX is based. Postscript is a verbose, semi-english-readable, language. When printed to a non-postscript printer, it often produces the sort of results you describe. See if your office printer can handle Postscript and if so, set that as the default (in the printer itself) or set it to auto-detect (some older printers that handle both Postscript and non-Postscript did not auto-detect well) If your office printer can not handle Postscript, see if there are any non-postscript printing solutions available for MAC and your printer, or get a Postscript converter (there used to be one called Ghostscript).

I agree with Jared_e42 wrong or corrupt drivers.

Sounds like you re using the wrong print driver; or the driver is bad. If you open the Print Utility (Applicationsgt;Utilities); you can EITHER delete, then re-add the printer and use a generic print driver OR click the info button while that printer is selected, and change the driver there to the generic one (or try to find another driver).
