Explanation One of the possible causes of random and incorrect characters appearing on print jobs sent to a laser printer is an outdated or corrupted driver. The driver is a software component that communicates between the operating system and the printer, and converts data into a format that the printer can understand. If the driver is outdated or corrupted, it may send incorrect or garbled data to the printer, resulting in poor print quality or errors. The technician should update the driver to the latest version from the manufacturer's website, or uninstall and reinstall it if necessary.
