non-printing watermark

[SpyfromGOD.mac]

TIA for your help, both now & in the past with Word (longtime reader,
1st time posting) ... Bob Buckland's quote, says it all! I thought I
had followed, satisfied all of the directions and have had no problems
with inserting my text watermark, just as I want it displayed. I've
even printed it before but now for some strange reason ... no
watermark; the text file looks fine, the watermark ... MIA! ·Office

Welcome to the "active" side of the group!

Based on your info, the first thing I'd suggest is that you update Office -
you're several builds behind if you are still at 11.3.4 and 11.3.5 was a
major update. Apply that one first followed by .6 and .7 in sequential
order... you should be able to just go to the Help menu in Word to start the
ball rolling.

Also, check the mfr's site to see if there is an update for your printer
driver. There have probably been several OS updates since your current
driver was issued.

You should also check your print prefs to make sure that Drawing Objects is
checked. Beyond that I'd need to know *how* you're creating the watermark -
There are several ways to go about it & the problem/solution may vary
depending on method. Also: Does the watermark show in Print Preview?

Installing the latest release of software and Update 2.2.3 on my HP Photosmart 2575 cured the non-printing watermark for me. The printer is USB connected to an iBook G4 and using Word:Mac 12.0.1 on my MacBook via Airport works great Thanks for your advice.

You are more than welcome. It often seems to take HP two tries to get their
drivers right.

However, they DO eventually get them right, and my HP has been working
faultlessly for abut five years now

{Ah hem} Even though I do keep filling it with el-cheapo refillable ink

Cheers

Its seems Hp has problems because as soon as they fix a problem with the
OS or the application changes something, that renders HP's Fix Useless.
Until Adobe acrobat 8 Hp would have to change Drivers every time Adobe
put out an update to Acrobat. odd thing it would always cause the same
odd symptom. you would try to open a PDF and the pdf would look like a
TV screen that the horizontal Hold adjustment was out. The same work
around saving as image would cure the problem always.

For My Money Hp's inkjets are by far the best on the Market and you need
less room for them because they use front mounted trays for the paper
instead of set up like a Fax machine.

Also when you replace a Cartridge you replace the print heads. Epson if
the print heads clog you throw the printer away.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
