Network Printer Printing Random Image

OK here is the problem at work. We have a lexmark printer that is randomly printing images of Clifford the Dog(funny right)...it also prints other characters from that cartoon. This has been happening since the printer was received. It happens in between jobs and sometimes when no one has even printed. Printer is a Lexmark T644. This happens no matter what printer prints to it as well. Not a banner page. Called lexmark they have no idea. Could this be some kind of network issue or virus??????? PC's seem to be virus free.....Any help suggestion welcomed

hi cassy, if this is a network printer try to disconnect this printer from the network and plug it to a stand alone pc observe for about a day if the problem would persist, restore the factory settings of the printer if got the option to do,.. most probably it could be a virus..or either check your system administrator try replacing the ip address once you install back the printer to network..it could be someone is messing around remotely...
