I'd say it's most likely a problem with drivers. Someone could have deleted something or replaced something, or a virus could have done it.

Scan for virii with Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) and Norton if you have it. Then re-download the drivers.

That should fix it.

There's virii that will make printers print a shitload of ink on one paper and drain your printer, and I'm sure there's programs that can make printers print stupid shit.
