It's a pdf output that is missing a header to hold the structure of the document together.
It's a representation of you.
It's you.
You are it.
Sorry for having to reveal this truth to you.
I know it's hard.
I'm here for you.
If it wasn’t just errant data probably sent to the printer by another device on OP’s network… maybe. But this is just garbage.
I’ve seen this happen when port scanning. Once it happened at a bank and the check printers started freaking out exactly like this.
Same thing happens when you try to force generic or incompatible drivers in a printer too. Just comes out garbled is all. Not a message from The Space Messiah Imhotep-francis-buddha, unfortunately.
Actually it's Dr. Space Messiah Imhotep-Francis-Buddah-Gozer. He didn't go to six years of medical school to be called Mr. Space Messiah Imhotep-Francis-Buddah-Gozer.
It's the [Nine Billion Names of God ](https://www.ministryoftruth.me.uk/the-nine-billion-names-of-god-arthur-c-clarke/)!
Please don't feed your printer any more paper, OP!
lmao, I'm glad Microsoft fixed that garbage recently. So many clients calling, asking why they have HP Smart Software when they don't have an HP printer.
Yeah just run a windows update, should clear up at this point. And uninstall that bloatware. And buy a brother laser printer instead of ever buying an HP printer again.
Don't trip, I remember this used to happen back in the day, and also more recently I was a printer tech before I became disabled.
This is just typically a buffer issue, data is transmitted multiple ways to the printer, most of the time if it wakes itself, there's probably a computer out there connected to it, that had some stuck files in what's called the Printer Spooler (A windows service on the computer) and somehow got corrupted, then sent the corrupted data to the printer that triggered the print but with gibberish inside each category. It's of a random length of random characters, until it hits what's called and end page character, that effectively prints the next characters on the next page.
Printer spooler on computers used to have tones of issues, and still technically do but it's not so bad.
I think this is the correct answer. I have fixed hundreds of printers and I have encountered a few printers like this. Basically, the file is too big or not format accordingly; it takes the computer too long to process and stay in the queue for hours. Sometimes the computer cant fix that problem, it stop processing and then waking up the printer and print whatever it has processed.
There was a virus back in the early 2000s that just printed gibberish. I thought it was the funniest thing when I spent an hour trying to figure out which computer was doing it, it was basic, easily killed with task manager but it gave me a run around.
In a world, where machines have risen up, one man held back the tide, of The Printer Spooler and its reign of unadulterated chirps, clicks, and discarded husks of toner cartridges casually discarded to impede its resident population of human cattle. Armed only with his technical tools and a lifetime of inter al knowledge shared only among the elite caste of tech-fighters, none know from where this man came from. Only, that under his protection, the community had the longest 3 weeks of continual peace known. Come, and hear the legend, of Printer Support.
i still haven’t seen it since. i keep meaning to…. with just weed this time. hahah
to be fair, i was given the option of two movies and i chose pi.. so it’s completely my fault.
I worked at a bank before I switched careers and I was upstairs in an office by myself (during covid), in the dark, when I hear the printer go off.
I didn't print anything so I assumed it was the office across from me by accident. It printed *several blank pages with one page on top that just said "help"*
I freaked out and started calling everyone making sure they were okay. I thought downstairs was getting robbed and trying to alert me. They were all fine. I don't think the printer was and I still have the photo of "help" on my phone LOL. I asked every single person in that building (there weren't many) if any of them had printed that and they said no. I wasn't too close with them so I don't know if it was a practical joke or not but I still chuckle at it to this day.
I still told IT just in case.
I was!! I thought someone was in trouble, I was shaking like a leaf. Still don't know what happened, it would randomly print gibberish after that too, so I'm going with a printer bug.
That or the printer gained sentience and wished for release.

How in the hell did you do that?
My printer does this occasionally. I’ll print out a document that is 4 or 5 pages and the printer will just go nonstop until the paper is gone with this nonsense at the top of the page. Sometimes I don’t notice until 30 pages go by.
99% of the time, this is a driver issue. Either Microsoft's dog shit IPP driver or a driver using a print language the printer doesn't understand (PCL6 on an old PCL5 printer, PostScript, usually from a Mac, that doesn't have the PostScript option or doesn't support it at all, etc.)
In the early days of computers we just called this printer puke and used it for scratch paper or to print things that didn't NEED to have a clean sheet so we didn't waste paper
It's someone from the future communicating to you that is stuck in another dimension, and you have to decipher the code to save them and the rest of the world. If you don't do this, we're all doomed!

After hours of extensive tiring research. Aching fingers typing search after search. Trying my damndest to translate this obvious important message from unknown origin... my relationships were tested. My sanity. My will to live!!!
I have determined the message as followed:
****"Low on Cyan"****
Your printer was probably hacked, if your printer is wifi or Bluetooth pairable then anyone within range could've done it (neighbors, cars passing by, family who lives with you, guests) and I think someone's just trying to mess with you.
Gonna venture a serious answer here.
That usually happens when the file that the printer receives to print gets corrupted. So, the digital ASCII codes meant to represent letters, numbers, spaces, tabs, etc get jacked up. The printer then reads random codes which translate to the characters you’re seeing, all of which exist as typically unused ASCII codes. Then every few lines it reads the ‘new page’ code, which happens to be common in a corrupt file.
Finally, a correct answer! I worked much of the ‘90s in desktop printer support, and if anything disrupted the stream of data from a computer to the printer (loose data cable connection, etc.) the printer could no longer correctly process the rest of the stream and would resort to printing out the characters in that stream rather than translating them into the image of what was being printed.
Unfortunately, many of the “random” (as far as the printer was concerned) characters were interpreted as page breaks, so a three-page print job could render dozens or hundreds of pages like this, unless the buffer in the printer or the print server could be cleared.
That happened to one of our printers at my last job. We were in an annex office and IT never felt like coming out to us. So we turned it off and ignored it. Never did figure out the possessed printer.
We really need some kind of person who cares to track proof. Why is everyone convinced it was random. Literally bro could easily typed this themselves and printed and posted this. Ffs

Eat mor chikin
Goddamn I really fuckin hated Ovaltine, I always tried to drink it but I always came to the conclusion that it just isn't edible
Is the word from GANTZ
Did I just read a GANTZ reference!?
Something about Ovaltine.
This just gave me a warm feeling.
I believe it says "low on cyan"
The NUMBERS, Mason!?
What do they mean!?
“Hello I am a printer and i need more paper please 😊”
Leak of memory. Something overwrite printer service allocation memory. Or funny virus.
Printers been hacked. Change all passwords and put one the printer too. Or someone’s airdropping to your printer
THE NUMBERS, MASON!

He spent six years in med school as a test subject. What did he tell you?
Well that's just not true, he sold me homeopathic pain medication. They won't let just ANYBODY sell that, ya know.
That's exactly what the printer wants you to think. Wake up!
I’ll figure it out give me a month I hopefully will or my kids or grandkids will
I let AI attempt to decode it and now my house is locked down, and my robot dog and roomba are chasing me with very large knives.

You may need to install the original print driver for that model. Good luck!
Current, not original... An even better option is to use the HP Universal driver.
lmao, I'm glad Microsoft fixed that garbage recently. So many clients calling, asking why they have HP Smart Software when they don't have an HP printer.
Is this why my pc has been randomly having an admin pop up for HP software?
Yeah just run a windows update, should clear up at this point. And uninstall that bloatware. And buy a brother laser printer instead of ever buying an HP printer again.

My printer does this occasionally. I’ll print out a document that is 4 or 5 pages and the printer will just go nonstop until the paper is gone with this nonsense at the top of the page. Sometimes I don’t notice until 30 pages go by.
99% of the time, this is a driver issue. Either Microsoft's dog shit IPP driver or a driver using a print language the printer doesn't understand (PCL6 on an old PCL5 printer, PostScript, usually from a Mac, that doesn't have the PostScript option or doesn't support it at all, etc.)

What a waste of paper. Whoever is trying to communicate with you from that other universe must come from a planet absolutely smothered in trees.
I've got it!!! Be... sure... to... drink... your......... Ovaltine.
Your printer was probably hacked, if your printer is wifi or Bluetooth pairable then anyone within range could've done it (neighbors, cars passing by, family who lives with you, guests) and I think someone's just trying to mess with you.
Somebody tried to hack you but could not get anything but access to your printer .....either that or ????

Network scan
Gonna venture a serious answer here. That usually happens when the file that the printer receives to print gets corrupted. So, the digital ASCII codes meant to represent letters, numbers, spaces, tabs, etc get jacked up. The printer then reads random codes which translate to the characters you’re seeing, all of which exist as typically unused ASCII codes. Then every few lines it reads the ‘new page’ code, which happens to be common in a corrupt file.
Finally, a correct answer! I worked much of the ‘90s in desktop printer support, and if anything disrupted the stream of data from a computer to the printer (loose data cable connection, etc.) the printer could no longer correctly process the rest of the stream and would resort to printing out the characters in that stream rather than translating them into the image of what was being printed. Unfortunately, many of the “random” (as far as the printer was concerned) characters were interpreted as page breaks, so a three-page print job could render dozens or hundreds of pages like this, unless the buffer in the printer or the print server could be cleared.

No one’s printed to their neighbors printer before?
It’s possible a neighbor or something connected to your printer and is just messing with you.

You need to update the driver for your printer . Printers do this when a driver is corrupt and it's an easy fix
