PPT97: Some Filled Objects on Embedded Slides Don't Print Properly

ID: Q189702


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows


SYMPTOMS

If you embed a PowerPoint slide into an external document (for example, a Word for Windows 95 document) and then print it to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 (or compatible) printer, some fills print incorrectly:

  • Semi-transparent and shaded fills print as rectangles around the filled object.

    -and-


  • Textured (and picture) fills print a solid black.



RESOLUTION

NOTE: These steps are for the HP LaserJet 4 printer driver, version 3.78, Universal Printer Driver, 4.00. Because there are several versions of the HP printer driver, the following steps may be different for your printer. If they are, please consult your product documentation to complete these steps.

To resolve this problem, change the printer's properties to use raster graphics:

  1. On the File menu, click Print.


  2. Click Properties.


  3. Click the Graphics tab, and then click User Raster Graphics.


  4. Click OK.
