Text Watermark missing letters when printed on LaserJet (Solution)

E

Ed Elliott

When printing from Word 2003, my LaserJet 5P is missing letters from
the text watermark. For example, "SAMPLE" would appear on some pages
as "S M L " and on other pages as "S MP E".

The latest updates have been applied for all Windows, Office, and HP
software.

Another person posted this problem awhile back but I did not see a
solution in Google Groups or on microsoft.com or hp.com.

After some experimentation, the solution is: Print-> Properties ->
Layout -> Advanced -> Graphics Mode: Raster

This results in a lighter watermark (almost invisible) than Graphics
Mode: HP-GL/2 (the normal setting), but Format -> Background ->
Printed Watermark -> Uncheck Semitransparent gives a watermark of
reasonable transparency.
