Web pages display OK, but print with garbage characters. I think it's character encoding, but don't know WHICH I should use. Have tried all Western and UTF options. Firefox 3.6.12

I used to only have troubles with headers & footers printing out as garbage characters. I tried changing Character Encoding, now entire pages have garbage characters, even though pages view ok when browsing.

If the pages look OK when you are browsing then it is not a problem with the encoding.
It can be a problem with the font that is used and you can try to disable website fonts and posibly try a few different default fonts to see if that helps.

Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced (Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above)
