Strange printing behaviour
Im experiencing something odd...
I have this document, a job application, ending with a CV. Here i have inserted a picture of me at the buttom of the document, following the CV. The picture i a full color picture. The text is simple b&w text that has not been manipulated colorwise. The picture however, when printed to my color laser printer, is printed in b&w. This although tha printjob is set to print the document in full color. If I delete the text, but keep the picture, send the document to be printed without changing the print settings, the picture is printed in full color. If i reinsert the text, this time after the picture so it is located at the top of the document, and send the document to the printer again to be printed. Again without changing any printer setting, the picture is also printed in full color. Only if the picture is printed after the text, no matter how i place it there, the picture is printed in b&w... How can i change this behaviour?? What is the reason for this strange behaviour?? /Finn |

Strange printing behaviour
My HP PhotoSmart printer defaults to "Grayscale." I have to remember
to click "Properties" in the Print dialog every time I open a document and change the Shortcut setting to "Economical" (or whatever it's called) and the Color setting to "Color." Maybe Word likes to override whatever your printer's defaults are, and you have to manually reset them through "Properties" every time.

It should be possible to change the defaults, by accessing the printer settings in Control Panel.

Indeed, I used to have it right! But try finding the right combination
of stuff in Windows 7 and the new HP "Solution Center." On Sep 29, 1:32*pm, "Stefan Blom" wrote: It should be possible to change the defaults, by accessing the printer settings in Control Panel.

Good point. HP does complicate matters, and for some reason there drivers never seem to work well with Microsoft products...

Like i said, the picture is printed in full color if i cut out the text of the excisting document and also if i move the picture to the start of the document prior to the text.. This makes no sense to me other that for some reason the text has adapted some setting that instructs the rest of the document to be printed in greyscale.. I have never heard of this before and i'm very puzzled about this.. /Finn |

Strange printing behaviour
It could be some strange kind of corruption. What happens if you copy the content, minus the final paragraph mark, into a new document? (To show/hide paragraph marks, press the ¶ button on the Home tab or on the Standard toolbar if you are using a version prior to Word 2007.)
For more on document corruption, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm. Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP On 2011-09-30 01:54, Finn Stampe Mikkelsen wrote: "Peter T.

Strange printing behaviour
The document does not seem to be corrupted.. I've shown all paragraph marks (and other formatting marks) and they all seem to be in
order... Funny thing is, that beside the behavior described (moving the picture to the front = color pic), the document prints fine in a Word 2007 i have installed on another computer. My current word is version 2010.... I have tried to remove and reinstall printer drivers from scratch without any change in behavior.... The Word 2007 print to the same printer, Brother DSP-9045CDN Network Printer... Both computers are on the same network.... I have tried to copy the document into a new document, then inserted the pic from scratch in that new document, with the same result... /Finn ++++ =================== "Stefan Blom" skrev i meddelelsen ...

Strange printing behaviour
Document corruption doesn't always "show" just by looking at a document...
What about the other computer, the one where things do work? Is it using a different operating system? In that case, the drivers are almost certainly different, which could explain the issue. Have you tried updating the driver on the problem machine (go to Brother's web site)? Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Finn Stampe Mikkelsen" wrote in message ...
