More than likely, I won't get the job because of this.

Publisher is more demanding on printers than other Office products. It also saves all
printer information with each publication, could be the file is looking for the old
printer driver. Disable your new printer before opening Publisher, open your
publication and then choose the new printer.

Might try in safe mode, none of the drivers will be loaded, if this works then you
know your printer driver(s) are at fault. There maybe an updated driver on the
manufacturer's web site.
Try an updated graphics driver too.

Thanks for responding. Most of the files were created after installing my printer. Publisher
also deletes an image when I try to rotate it. This may be because XP does not support a special
rotation algorithm, which are usually implemented in hardware. Since installing WinXP,
I've noticed all kinds of strange problems. For example, MS Paint has a tendacy to delete lower
sections of images. Not in response to any particular action. Just by itself. I will try disabling
and enabling the printer and checking for an updating driver.

Really sounds like a graphics driver. Right-click your desktop, properties, settings
tab, troubleshoot, slide the acceleration down.

That should be the advanced tab, then troubleshoot.

The issues you describe are unknown. Publisher has never deleted any images
in any file, in any version of Publisher.

There are no issues whatsoever running any version of Publisher on XP.

Thank you very much.

I have Pub97, running on Windows XP. When I inserted clip
art, images disappeared upon printing. Not sure where I
picked this up as another problem solution, but I've
found that, after inserting object into publication, do
an "Edit - Cut" and then an "Edit-Paste Special" and then
move the object into desired place--the object
now "sticks" and does not disappear after doing a Print.
Hope this helps.

Bob this is either a video driver or more than likely a printer driver
issue.

What you describe is unknown in Publisher 97 and Publisher 97 has no issues
running on XP whatsoever.

Many of us here have Publisher 97 running on XP including myself.

Having nearly the same problem here in a school environment. When a user prints, the graphics do not prinnt, then it removes them from the document! Any colution would be great!
