Edited graphics print wrong

[Guest]

Hi... I hope you can help me with this annoying problem. Okay here is the problem- There is an edited (eg. cropped) picture on the slide so you see just one part of the picture on the screen, but when you print off the slides, the original picture gets printed off therefore you see just part of the whole graphic and not even close to what you want to see. What could be messed up that when you print, it doesn't recognize that it has been cropped or edited to fit the slide???? Please if anyone can help me with this that would be great! Hopefully you understand what I mean. Thanks

Which version of PPT are you using? Some versions allow you to actually
remove the cropped area from the photo, but it's an extra step. PPT's crop
really just masks the cropped out area so that you can restore the picture
to its original state if you want. I don't recall hearing of printing issues
with just that regular crop, though.

What printer are you using? Have you tried updating the printer drivers?

Thanks for the reply... I have Powerpoint from Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. What is happening is everyone else in my university class prints out their notes fine and the graphics are all correct. But for some reason alot of the graphics for me print out incorrectly. I think something may have happened when someone did download some drivers for my printer just a couple weeks ago (its a HP Deskjet 842C). So basically the profs don't seem to be actually cropping the pictures fully because when you try to edit the picture by double-clicking it, the full picture is still there but only the small portion is visible on the slide! So I have no idea what happened that my printer likes to recognize the whole thing. Hopefully you may have some suggestion with what I could do...

Since others aren't having the same problems, I do suspect the printer
drivers.

I don't think PPT 2000 has the "compress pictures" option on the Picture
toolbar. That's the feature which allows you to actually cut those cropped
areas so they no longer exist in the presentation. It's available in 2002
and 2003, but I can't remember about 2000...

Anyway, try updating your printer drivers--or even change back to the old
ones if possible (and if updating again doesn't work)--and if that doesn't
do the trick, poke around on HP's help forums on their website and see if
anyone there has run across this type of thing.
