My plotter in Tulsa decided to print a 24x36 sheet of pure gibberish

I was finalizing a set of mechanical drawings for a client when the machine started spitting out page after page of random symbols and lines. I had to reboot the whole system and re-send the file from my backup drive, which set me back almost two hours. Has anyone else had a plotter just completely lose its mind like that?

Ever tried a different USB cable? Mine was doing that until I swapped it out.

Can't believe it printed pure gibberish, but gavin228 might be onto something with that cable.

Totally, @cole_flores44, a new cable fixed mine too.
