Textbox printing all black on Ricoh printer

[EADKINS]

I just recently upgraded to publisher 2003 from a precious version. I use a
RIcoh printer that has always worked fine printing my work from the previous
version of publisher. Since the upgrade, text boxes that have a border and
no fill are printing as black rectangles on the Ricoh printer but print
correctly on a Savin and Lexmark printer that i can also print to. If I
remove the border, the text prints fine on the Ricoh. I also get the same
effect if I draw a rectangle with no fill and print it on the Ricoh printer.

This Ricoh printer is the one that I have to use for publisher and I need
to be able to border text boxes but have not found a reason for this bizarre
behavior when it works correctly on all other printers. Text boxes in MS
WORD and other applications print fine on this printer. It is only in
publisher2003 that I am seeing this behavior. I would appreciate any input
on why this is occurring and how to fix it. TIA.

Have you gone to Ricoh for help or perhaps a new driver. When you start your
publication are you selecting the Ricoh printer before you create your page?
