Default Can't print pdfs

Our office is using Dells w/XP (sp2) and had, until recently, been able to
print pdfs and other docs untill this week. We have one computer that gives
us problems printing only pdfs. PDFs print outs look like long lists of code
and print more than one page when we specify only one. Happens even when
trying to print from links. Any help would be most appreciated.

I suppose you print from Acrobat Reader. If the reader detects a
postscript driver it converts the pdf to postscripts and prints the
result RAW to the printer, which perhaps does not understand it.
If this is the case try an pcl driver or compare the driver with the
ones on the other computers.
But something is wrong with the drivers on that computer, if it worked
before. So perhaps to delete all drivers and reinstall them would be a
better solution.
Look here, how to do that.
