    But that would just print exactly what I sent in the first place. That his the ONLY output I have ever got from infinity army. I have never got anything like those lists posted by Stiopa and Xagaroth.

    What you showed in your photo is basically a result of Army sending information that your printer doesn't understand, I see it quite a bit at work with PDFs generated by insurance companies and Far Eastern law firms.

    By printing direct to a PDF file you avoid these errors by taking your printer out of the equation, by then printing this PDF file as an image you're effectively translating the information to into a language your printer is guaranteed to understand.

    Unfortunately printing as a PDF is not available on the system I am using. There is no option to print to PDF and no option to save as a PDF either

    "By printing direct to a PDF file you avoid these errors by taking your printer out of the equation, by then printing this PDF file as an image you're effectively translating the information to into a language your printer is guaranteed to understand." Why doesn't Infinity Army produce an output file by default that a printer can understand?

    You will then have to install a PDF virtual printer, or try and print to XPS and then see if you can print from there.
    The simplest solution would be to install chrome.

    It's more a "the printer ('s configuration) has a problem" rather than "the infinity army has a problem".

    PrimoPDF is a freeware program that can add a PDF printer. There are others but I've used Primo at work.

    I'm guessing that Army prints in a somewhat unusual way and your printer's manufacturer didn't think it important to make your printer understand it.

    Essentially all printers are a bit rubbish, I've seen Xerox and Ricoh printers worth tens of thousands of dollars crap the bed with a PDF that a throwaway $100 HP printer can print fine.

    I have printed CAD drawings, Photoshop images, documents, Excel spreadsheets and other many many other PDFs without a hitch.

    By the way I don't know if there is any connection but I have the same difficulty with the desktop version of IA.

    I don't mean that the printer or the SO itself has a problem, but that there seems to lack something that allows talks between the Army and the printer directly. I do not know the innards of the Army, so I can't help you there. However, try to use Chrome to generate a PDF from the lists and see if the problem persists, even if you install it just for this and then remove it.

    I’m not entirely sure it is possible to fully delete it once you have been infected with Chrome. But I will try it.
