Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package
The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package but was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
 * When you print a publication as color separations or composite cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) in Publisher 2003, the publication may not print and you do not receive an error message.

The publication in Publisher 2003 may appear to print successfully, but there will be no printer output in the print queue or no PostScript file on the disk.

This problem typically occurs with publications that contain many high-resolution raster graphics (TIFFs, JPEGs, Photoshop EPS, and other graphic types), and may occur when the print spool file exceeds approximately 500 megabytes (MB) on the disk.
