SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you print or print preview a project on large paper sizes, the header, footer and legend may not be printed.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when all of the following conditions are true:

 You print a project on a Hewlett Packard (HP) DesignJet plotter using version 3.1 of the plotter driver. You reformat the header, footer or legend text.  You have any of the following printer configurations:

Missing Header And Footer:   HP DesignJet      Paper       Color       Print printer          size        option      scaling -  700 Series          E         Grayscale     79% 700 Series         E         Color         40% 700 Series         D         Grayscale     61% 700 Series         D         Color         31%

200-600 Series     E         Grayscale     39% 200-600 Series     E         Color         39% 200-600 Series     D         Grayscale     31% 200-600 Series     D         Color         31% Missing Legend:   HP DesignJet      Paper       Color       Print Printer          size        option      scaling -  700 Series          E         Grayscale     61% 700 Series         E         Color         31% 700 Series         D         Grayscale     38% 700 Series         D         Color         19%

200-600 Series     E         Grayscale     38% 200-600 Series     E         Color         31% 200-600 Series     D         Grayscale     38% 200-600 Series     D         Color         19% 

NOTE: This behavior does not occur in Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, increase the scaling percentage. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Page tab.
 * 2) Change the Adjust To scaling percentage to a higher number.
 * 3) Click Print Preview.

Repeat these steps until the header, footer, and/or legend is displayed.
