Project: Patterns Not Distinguishable on PostScript Printer

 * }

Q85299

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Project for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0a, 4.0

-

SYMPTOMS
When printing from Microsoft Project for Windows, using the PostScript printer driver version 3.5, some of the Gantt bar patterns may look alike.

WORKAROUND
A possible workaround is to use the Windows 3.0 PostScript printer driver. This workaround has not been fully tested and the older printer driver could cause problems with other applications running under Windows 3.1.

Another workaround is to use different Gantt Bar patterns or add more distinguishable Start and End points to the Gantt Bars.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1.

MORE INFORMATION
The Windows 3.1 PostScript printer driver, version 3.5, prints graphics at such a high resolution that the lines in patterns (crosshatch, vertical lines, and so on) print very close together. Depending on the pattern that is applied, the bars in a Gantt chart may look more like a grayscale or shaded pattern in the printed output.
