Signature image won't print

[Lindsay Graham]

I'm using Word 2000, Win98SE and a HP inkjet printer.

I've inserted a .bmp image (a signature in black only, ie, no colour) as a
picture in a Word document, and it worked fine and shows in Print Preview.
However, the signature does not print (although the rest of the document prints
fine). I also tried the image as a .tif file, but exactly the same result.

Any ideas on what's wrong -- is it likely to be Word or the printer?

Try this:

Tools > Options, click the Print tab and under Include with Document click

But this is not the problem if the signature is being displayed in Print
Preview as the OP says.

This problem gets more intriguing. From my computer, the signature shows in
Print Preview but will not print, regardless of whether it is inserted as a
..bmp, .tif or .jpg file. It's the same story if I insert the signature into a
blank document.

But the same document prints fine from my wife's computer! The 2 computers are
networked together, and the printer is attached to her computer. We've compared
all the settings we can think of, and can see no reason for the difference. I
presume it's not a Word problem, but I thought I'd report back to let you know
what had happened. Do you think it's likely to a network issue or a printer
issue?

Check all the settings on the Print tab of Tools | Options. Graphics may not
print if you've got "Draft output" checked.

Thanks, Suzanne, but no luck. 'Draft output' was not checked, and the signature
is missing whether I set the printer to Draft or Normal mode.

Anybody got any more ideas?
