What does it look like when you use the print preview in word/whatever processor you use?

Seems like a very weird one and if everything looks normal in the print preview i'd say uninstalling and reinstalling printer drivers/software is the only thing i can think of.

Just the Ls?

Perhaps the font is corrupted have you tried another?

Pop the cover off your "L" key and turn it 'round 180 degrees.  Then, the "L" key will match what is showing on the printouts.

done.  :P :D

I'm somewhat of a wiz, but I've still never heard of this.  That's why I offered the easy fix!  >:D

Are the Ls upside-down only when printed from "notebook"?  What is notebook? Do you mean notepad?

See if you can use the same font in another application.  Print it what you type and see if the Ls are upside-down.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :P

Try typing 7 instead of L :tu:

Sorry, I got nothing.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Hi Paul

Is the problem solely with notepad. If it is, change the font within notepad and try again.

If not, uninstall and then reinstall your printer driver.

Finally, check your region settings and ensure everything is set for UK.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

If you google it, a couple of other people have said the same about notepad and recommend a font change.
I'm back!!

If that happens in Notepad, then it is normal.

Just change your typeface or font from Lucida Console to another.  ;)
