SYMPTOMS

The Windows NT 4.0 printer drivers for HP DeskJet printers do not support Color Resolution Enhancement Technology (CRET) or the following HP features:

  • Color Matching
  • ColorSmart Technologies
  • Photo Pen
  • Photo Paper

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
