= SYMPTOMS =

Opaque objects that overlap a graphic may print to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 as transparent. This occurs when the following conditions exist:


 * The background image is large (for example, a 3.5 MB .PCX image).
 * The HP LaserJet 4 is in raster mode, at 600 dpi.
 * You are using version 31.V1.18 of the HP LaserJet 4 driver.

If all three of these conditions exist, opaque objects will print as transparent. This is due to a problem with the printer driver.

= RESOLUTION =

To avoid this problem, print with the driver in HP/GL2 mode.
