poster using MS PUblisher 2003

[oldzac]

In some posters I make, when printed there is a coloured "barcode" looking
patch in the background.
This has happened using two different printers. How can I fix this please?
With thanks,
Oldzac.

Does this *barcode* show up in print preview? Are you sure the marks aren't crop
marks? I don't know what would be causing your problem. Have you updated your
printer drivers?

No, the "barcoad" does not show up in print preview.
It is large, up up 2 x 6 inches, using colours similar to those adjecent,
but in a space that should be background.
It happened with my previous Epson, and again with my new Canon MP610. This
makes me think the problem is with MS Publisher. However I will search for
later drivers for the canon.
Thanks,
Oldzac.
