Had a couple affected. Only user to be upset was someone who prints checks. Moved the printer to Ethernet instead of USB. It was no longer an issue.
Problem happened every time the printer reconnected to the computer, which happens several times an hour because HP printers don’t stay sleeping.
This problem has been brewing off and on for a few months. This is the first time I have seen it with symbols.
