HP Designjet Printers - Tabs in the HP-GL/2 Driver Are Not Readable or Appear in Wrong or Foreign Language

Issue:
The tabs in the drivers are not readable or appear in wrong or foreign language.
Solution
The only fix for this issue is to completely uninstall the driver (from the server properties) and install the latest version. It can be easily found at www.hp.com/bizsupport. It is important to mention that this issue can happen with any kind of driver for any Designjet Printer. It may also happen in several Operating Systems.
  1. Delete any file in the printer´s queue.
  2. Click on Start, Settings, Faxes.
  3. Highlight the specific driver to be deleted.
  4. Press the Delete key on the keyboard.
  5. Click on File (Windows toolbar) while still in the Printers folder.
  6. Select Server Properties.
  7. Click on the Drivers tab, and highlight the specific driver to be deleted.
  8. Press the Delete key on the keyboard or select the Remove button in the wizard.
  9. Close windows and reboot the computer.
  10. If a message shows up saying that the driver cannot be removed proceed to restart the computer and try again (it will be necessary to restart again after the driver has been removed).
note:
For newer Operating Systems like Windows Vista and 7, the Server Properties can be easily found under the Printers Folder at the Control Panel.
