Canon LBP360 won't print text but prints images fine

I have a laser printer, Canon LBP360.  It has been a champ.  Absolutely love it.

Suddenly, it stopped printing ... except for odd things, which I finally identified as graphic elements within a Word Document.  So - I tried to print a picture.  NO PROBLEM!  I have tried to print a document in Word - mostly blank.  Tried to print the same document in PDF - still mostly blank.  Turn the PDF into a JPG - no problem!  It prints fine.

Completely IRRITATING.

I have tried uninstalling the printer/driver. THEN - reinstalled the printer and driver.... AND the problem persists.

ANY SOLUTIONS for me??
