This article was previously published under Q82494

SUMMARY

Colored text does not print in shades of gray when using the Hewlett- Packard (HP) PCL printer (HP LaserJet II series) drivers supplied with Microsoft Windows. This feature is not supported. All color text prints in black. Printing to a HP Laserjet 4/4M yields the same results.

This also applies to the HP laserjet III driver that ships with WFW 3.11. All colored text will appear as black. If the "print text as graphics" box is checked and there is any colored text on the slide, all the text will print as white.
