PUB2000: Gray Text Prints as Black to LaserJet 4 with Windows (198243)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q198243 SYMPTOMS
If you print a publication that contains gray or colored text to a Hewlett-
Packard (HP) LaserJet 4-series printer, the text will print as black.
CAUSE
The Windows 95 printer driver for the HP LaserJet 4 does not support
printing gray text. All text prints as either black or white. This problem
is not limited to Publisher; any program that supports colored text will
have this problem.
RESOLUTION
This problem does not occur with the LaserJet 4 PostScript driver. If your
LaserJet can accept PostScript, you can use the LaserJet 4 PostScript
driver. Some models of LaserJet 4 (such as the 4SI) support PostScript
directly. Other models (such as the LaserJet 4) require an add-on product
to support PostScript.
If you cannot use the LaserJet 4 PostScript driver, you can create the
gray or colored text as WordArt objects. WordArt objects are pictures and
will print in shades of gray to the LaserJet 4.
