I have never seen this before.. just wondering if anyone out there has got any ideas.
I've got a Canon i560 printer on which I am trying to print text using a font called "AdineKernBurg" here's a sample..


When I actually print (or in this case the printer has software that can show you what it will look like once printed.. and this is how it keeps coming out..


Anyone got any ideas on why it would be showing up like that? I've got the printer quality set to high, I've even tried other fonts they do the same thing.. Any Ideas?

That is a bitmap font, or a poorly designed ttf. What you are seeing is the whole reason for TTF fonts having been developed in the first place. Basically fonts(and indeed any bitmap) do not scale up very well. You are printing the picture at a higher resolution than when you drew it and are therefore scaling up the size. Try drawing the picture at a ghigher resolution.
(You can see a similar effect if you paint a single diagonal line in your paint package.)
If this is happening on documents, try turning off the 'print as bitmap' feature of the printer.
