The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q133098

SYMPTOMS

If you print a publication that contains rotated or irregularly cropped bitmapped graphics to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 5L printer, the graphics may print distorted.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the LaserJet 5L driver distorts nonrectangular bitmaps.

RESOLUTION

If you print to the LaserJet 5L using the LaserJet 5MP or LaserJet 4 printer drivers, the graphics should print correctly.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
