Summary:

Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows slides that contain charts will not print to laser printers if you are using a third-party PostScript emulation cartridge such as the Pacific Data Products PacificPage cartridge. Each slide will print if the chart is removed. The slides, complete with charts, will print with no difficulty to a true PostScript printer.

Some third-party PostScript emulation cartridges do not provide a close enough PostScript emulation. For this reason, they will not be able to print all output from all programs. Pacific Data Products is aware of this problem. For more information, contact Pacific Data Products Technical Support at (619) 587-4690.

Note: The Hewlett-Packard (HP) PostScript emulation cartridge provides a higher degree of PostScript emulation for HP LaserJet printers. You should have no difficulty printing charts or other PowerPoint output to HP LaserJets using that cartridge.
