Sometimes when you connect a new Plug and Play compatible printer that the OS does not know (e.g. the printer is a newly introduced model and you have an older computer and OS) the OS will pick either a "generic printer driver" or a printer driver for an older "similar" printer. Such printer drivers may not in fact be compatible with the new printer and garble the printing. Hopefully the printer came with a printer driver installation CD or DVD, or the manufacturer's website provides downloads of their latest printer drivers for the printer.
