SYMPTOMS
When you print a PowerPoint presentation to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet
500 printer, the text on your slides may be printed as squares or symbols,
or it may not be printed at all.
CAUSE
This can be caused by PowerPoint failing to recognize the HP DeskJet
500 printer when it is set as the default printer in Windows 95.
RESOLUTION
If you print your presentation again, the text should be printed correctly
because the second time you print the presentation, PowerPoint will
recognize the printer and will adjust the HP DeskJet 500 printer settings.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
