When printing from Firefox I get strange symbols












0















When I open this pdf in Firefox its correctly shown, but when I print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 from Firefox, the text looks partially very odd like this:



enter image description here



When I print it from Chrome, the outcome looks normal. Also when I tried it on another PC the outcome looks normal in Firefox and in Chrome.



The issue is only with Firefox on one specific PC. It happens to all PDF's. What can I do to find the issue? I have the latest printer driver installed.

          Open "Options" from the Firefox menu. In the "General" section under "Language and Appearance", click the "Advanced" button.
