Hi j hall ),
in the newsgroups you posted: || Printer prints document where the text is accurate, however most of || the phots come out black...anyone know why? Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 and older are critical about printer drivers. Usually upgrading (or downgrading in some cases) will fix the problems you are encountering. If you have not already done so, you would want to visit the manufacturers website of your printer to download and install the latest printer driver that is available. It's important to note that the CD-Rom that came with your printer will most likely NOT have the most recent driver for your printer. Popular Printer Driver Sites: ----------------------------- Canon http://www.usa.canon.com/html/cprSup...avfrom=Dr ivD HP http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/eng/support.html Lexmark http://www.lexmark.com/US/support/drivers/index.html Epson http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/index.jsp and visit the downloads/drivers section Brother http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/info/index.html ----------------------------- Search for the printer driver that represents the make and model that you are using and download that driver. I would make sure you select "Save" when prompted for download, not "Run". Typically many save to My Documents. Do not install or run the setup. Go to Start Settings Printers and right click on your current printer and choose delete from the menu that appears. If prompted to remove all files, choose yes. Then restart your computer. Once your computer restarts, go to the folder where your new printer driver was downloaded and double click the file to extract the printer driver. This should prompt you through the setup routine for the new driver. If your computer "detects new hardware" upon restart, it's ok to hit cancel on that dialog. Go ahead and continue your setup routine of your newly downloaded printer driver. If the file that you downloaded is not an executable, but only a file that is *.inf, then you will need to follow these steps: 1. Go to Start Settings Printers 2. Choose "Add Printer" 3. Choose Next 4. Select "Local Printer" then click Next 5. At the next dialog box choose "Have Disk" 6. Browse to the location of your newly downloaded *.inf file 7. Follow the remaining prompts (you may have to insert your Windows CD) 8. I would recommend restarting your computer at this point. Now try a new print from Publisher. This should fix your troubles. If not, either contact your printer manufacturer directly and inform them of the problem you have experienced. They might request that you try an older printer driver. Post back if you have any further questions.

Try printing to a postscript driver/pdf driver or other printer to see if
you see the same problem. "j hall" wrote in message ... Thank you for your response...the most current firmware was installed. Any other suggestions? "j hall" wrote: Printer prints document where the text is accurate, however most of the phots come out black...anyone know why? |

Did you try Brian's solution?
What model printer are you using? Have you looked for an updated driver or read the support documents concerning your printer? Have you checked for plug-ins for your PhotoShop program? What does Adobe recommend? -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "j hall" wrote in message ...
