smudging problem

Hello,

I'm having a "smudging/smearing" problem with a Publisher publication
I'm working on. Most of the publication prints fine but the first
column of my table contains a smearing/smudging when printed.

The table was created within a text box on the left half of the page.
I tried pasting the table alone onto a new blank publication without a
text box but the smudging was still there. I also tested my printer
with anothe Publisher file and it printed perfectly so I think there
is something amiss in this particular Publisher publication that is
causing this smudging.

I have pasted a scan of the problem on a web page at
http://7web.com/publisher-problem.htm so you can see what I am talking
about.

Any help or advice on how I can remove this smudging is very much
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I can't see how that is a Publisher problem. It has to be printer-related.

You were right. When I printed the document from a different printer,
the smudging was gone. Thanks for the input.
