Printing differentitions.

[Atogeniqua]

Hi Gang

I am printing to 3 different b&w printers in the office, and am
getting 3 different results.

I have created 8 boxes (with same coloured borders), each box coloured
with our template colours. I have creaed 2 sets, the first has black
text and the second is white.

The printers and results are listed below
HP 4050: shade is very light; all text is black; boxes have black
borders
HP 4100: Shades are darker; all text is black; boxes have black
borders
HP 2300: Shades are darker and smoother; white text is white; no
borders on boxes.

Can anyone help?
thank you
me

Maybe I should I have posted this in a HP group, but I think someone
here may some advise.
p.s. using ppt 2000

The first two results sound like what I'd expect from PPT printing to a
recognized b/w printer. Different printers may give different shading results
because the engines or drivers are different, or because one's in PostScript
mode while another's in PCL mode, because the driver settings (resolution,
toner saver, resolution enhancement etc) are different.

The last one sounds like PPT thinks it's a color printer. Choose File, Print
and make sure to choose Pure Black and White or Grayscale. See if that brings
it more in line with the others.
