Thanks for the responce. It turns out the problem was my fault. The very
first thing I tried to print in Word 2007 was using an uncommon font that I
had never used before. It turns out that the font was not a true type font
and so it would not work with a shaded background. In fact I am pretty sure
that particular font wouldn't work with any print driver. Once I changed font
the problem was no more.

giess, but it certainly sounds like a printer driver issue.

I am using a computer with Windows XP Professional with the latest

Laserjet 3800. I am also using Word 2007.

Whenever I create a table with the cells filled in black and the text
done in white my print out completely loses the text. The cells print
out as solid black with the text missing. The print preview looks
just the way I want it but the printout is not usable.

Do I need to install Vista drivers? Will they even work on an XP
machine?
