Watermarks

[Ctrl-Alt-Del]

Got multiple users in an office who cannot print watermarks. I can print
their docs on my printer, but same docs, whether printed by users locally or
by myself, remotely, watermarks don't print all leters (ASAP may come out AS
P). This is across two (laser) printers, so likelyhood of printer error is
reduced. I've had user make sure that background printing is enabled. The
ONLY common factor I can find is that their office does not have a print
server, so jobs are being sent across the wire to the server and back again
to the print devices. Could there be something betwixt their offsite print
server and onsite print devices which would interfere with watermarking?
Thanks for any ideas.

You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word; I
infer you're on Windows. Mac versions differ variously from PC versions.
Although several people here use both PCs and Macs and may give you an
answer soon, it's likely that more people in a PC group have experienced
your specific problem. Here's where all the groups are listed:

You should describe your version of Word and the printing configuration etc
when posting to the newsgroup you choose.

Cheers,

Although Clive is quite correct, try going back into the Watermark dialog &
clearing the check for Semitransparent - some printers just don't like that.

It's also possible that users of those printers may need a driver update.
