Windows update bug makes USB printers print gibberish, and the fix is a hassle
The K5050092 non-security preview update is making USB printers spit out random gibberish.

If you've printed an important document only to find random text and data mixed in with your actual content, your first instinct might be to blame the printer. But if you've already restarted it multiple times, reinstalled and updated its drivers, and tried every fix you could think of, you may have just wasted your time. Microsoft has now acknowledged that this is a Windows bug, and the culprit is a recent Windows 11 preview update.
