Colored Text Does Not Print in Correct Color (123610)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q123610 SYMPTOMS
When you print colored text from an application (such as Microsoft Word 6.0
for Windows) to a color printer using UNIDRV, you may not get the exact
colors as shown on the screen. For example, in Word for Windows, dark blue
prints as blue.
CAUSE
UNIDRV.DLL uses DMCOLOR as the color brute library. DMCOLOR uses RGB color
format and does not dither text colors. As a result, for text, you can
print only eight colors.
WORKAROUND
One possible workaround for this problem is to install and use the latest
printer driver, if one is available.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
