letters in gray on screen are black when printed

[Pascale]

Hello
I have a little problem which is driving me around the bend.
I created a text box, typed a title in it, changed the letter of the text to
gray (and it does appear gray on the screen), and rotated the text box side
ways.

Next to this text box, I have a grey line.

When printed the text in the box is black and my line is grey. Why is this
an what can be done about it pls ?????????
many thanks

Laser?
What version Publisher? Try a lighter gray. Do you have a postscript printer
installed?

Hello Mary
I have tried every shade of gray yellow, whatever you can imagine. I have
also check the printer options with no luck. It is a big printer it's a canon
IR 2270. a biggy!
My version of publisher is 2003. Thanks in advance. Kind regards Pascale

I can only guess it is a driver issue. Are you using the best setting? Is your
drivers current. There are a bunch of drivers on the Canon site. There aren't
any dates, so you would have to go by version numbers.

Hi mary,
I use the Cannon IR105 and I can print lines text, boxes ets. in any gray
scale I need.
When you go to print your document, Select your printer property button.
Look for the Quality tab. Select Publication, of Graphics, or Picture,
whichever you are printing and it should print an actual representation of
your document.
(Note: the Text option will only prints in black.)

Maybe Pascale has this setting. I think it could be a quality setting. Thanks
for your post, it is helpful to know.
