SYMPTOMS
When you print Creative Writer and Fine Artist documents, PowerPoint slides, or WordArt objects to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) 500 series DeskJet printer, you may find that spletters (shape text objects) do not print correctly. The HP DeskJet 500 series printers omit the patterns in spletters. Patterned spletters are printed with solid instead of patterned fills. This problem has also been reported on HP4Si printers running with Windows 95.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Upgrading the printer driver does not resolve the problem; the problem occurs with the HP DeskJet driver versions 3.1, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0. NOTE: The Canon BubbleJet 600 and 600e may display the same behavior because the BubbleJet 600 and 600e drivers are based on the HP DeskJet driver.
MORE INFORMATION
The patterns in spletters print correctly from Creative Writer for the Macintosh to HP DeskWriter printers. The DeskWriter series is Hewlett- Packard's Macintosh-platform equivalent of the DeskJet series.
