SYMPTOMS
When you print a Word 7.0 document that contains a large table with borders
and/or shading to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 printer, the document
may print significantly slower than when you print the same document from
Word 6.0 under Windows 95.
Changing the printer driver settings does not correct the problem; in fact,
this may make the delay even more noticeable.
This problem has also been reported on the Okidata OL-400, Okidata OL-830,
NEC Pinwriter 6300, NEC 6300, Panasonic KXP 4420 and Epson LQ 2550.
This problem does not occur when printing to an HP LaserJet IIIsi or 4si.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
Use the HP LaserJet IIIsi or 4si printer driver.
