SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Works for Windows, when printing a color chart to a Hewlett- Packard (HP) DeskJet 500C, 550C or 560c printer using the version 3.0 printer driver, the following conditions apply:
- The Printer Setup options must be set according to the following steps:
- From the File menu, choose Printer Setup.
- Select Black And Color, All Color, or Color Black Composite for the Print Mode.
- Choose the Options button and set Dithering to Pattern, Cluster, or Scatter.
