Summary:

Microsoft PowerPoint occasionally exhibits printing problems associated with print spoolers, such as Apple’s Print Monitor version 1.3 and SuperMac Technology’s Super Laser Spool version 2.01.

The two most notable examples of this behavior are objects in a PowerPoint slide not printing in their intended location or objects not printing at all. If a print spooler is being used and these problems are being encountered, it is recommended that the print spooler be disabled. If Apple’s Print Monitor is being used, this is most easily done by turning off Background Printing in the Chooser desk accessory. If Super Laser Spool is being used, remove it from the System Folder and restart the Macintosh.

If images still fail to print, it is most likely due to inadequate printer memory.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
