SYMPTOMS
If you print a publication that contains rotated or irregularly cropped bitmapped graphics to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 5L printer, the graphics may print distorted.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the LaserJet 5L driver distorts nonrectangular bitmaps.



RESOLUTION
If you print to the LaserJet 5L using the LaserJet 5MP or LaserJet 4 printer drivers, the graphics should print correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
