The printer in question is a HP 840C on a computer running Windows 2000 but I have had the same issue with every HP printer I have used on every computer I have owned. This is not a problem with a particular compatibility conflict but one fundamental to HP printers.
It goes into a mode where it prints one or two lines of symbols, then ejects the page and repeats for page after page. Leaving it unplugged long enough will cure it, but it can take a long time.
I called HP tech support and got a retarded Indian who was as much help as they ever are. After wasting a lot of time trying to make him understand the issue, I hung up on him. I went to Micro Devices and talked to a computer adviser who had never seen the problem. As many times as I have seen it, others must have also had it.
The behavior is stored in the printer and comes back up every time it is started. There must be a way to wipe its mempory.
