SYMPTOMS
When you try to print white text on a dark background, the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter may not print the text.



CAUSE

 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
 * 2) Right-click IBM 4019 LaserPrinter, click Properties, and then click the Fonts tab.
 * 3) In the TrueType fonts box, click Print TrueType as graphics, and then click OK.
