WordArt: WordArt Text Prints Unfilled on PaintJet

ID: Q76650

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft WordArt, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When printing text that was created using the WordArt program supplied with Microsoft Publisher for Windows version 1.0, some of the characters comprising the text may be printed unfilled. This behavior most notably occurs on the characters "B," "e," "o," "I," and "y." However, depending on the size and font used, it may happen to other characters as well.

CAUSE

This happens because WordArt text is composed of metafiles, or graphics, and if the complexity of the image is too much for the PaintJet driver to handle, the fills will drop out.

RESOLUTION

A newer Hewlett-Packard PaintJet driver, version 1.01, appears to correct the problem. Note that this driver has not been officially tested by Microsoft and is currently available only through Hewlett-Packard (HP).
