SYMPTOMS

When you use a Hewlett-Packard (HP) 1200C DeskJet color printer with Windows NT, text in a colored box does not print. If you change the color in the box to gray scale, the text prints correctly.

WORKAROUND

The only workaround for this problem is to print documents with text in a colored box from Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.5 and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

The Hewlett-Packard product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
