= SYMPTOMS =

If the Apple LaserWriter Printer driver is configured for Black And White instead of Color/Grayscale, a Microsoft Excel Chart OLE object may be printed from Microsoft Project as a black box.

Generally, this problem occurs when you view a document in print preview before you print it. However if OLE objects other than Microsoft Excel charts exist in the Gantt Chart, the Excel Chart OLE object will always be printed as a black box.

= CAUSE =

This problem is caused by incorrect configuration of the printer driver.

= RESOLUTION =

To reconfigure the printer driver, use the following steps:


 * 1) On the File menu, click Print.
 * 2) Click Options.
 * 3) In the Print selection list, select Color/Grayscale.
 * 4) Click OK.
