SYMPTOMS

When you print an object with a semi-transparent fill from PowerPoint 95 to a Canon BJC-610 printer, the object may appear black on the printout.

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by the Canon BJC-610 printer driver. This driver is shipped with the printer by Canon and is a Windows 3.1 driver. PowerPoint 95 uses some features new to Windows 95 to create semi- transparent fills. The printer driver does not understand these printing commands and interprets the semi-transparent fill as a black fill.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
