SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project 98, when you print a project, the bar patterns, timescale shading and grid lines may be printed incorrectly or not printed.

NOTE: The project appears correctly in print preview; only the printed project displays this problem.

CAUSE

This problem may occur when you print a project to a color PostScript printer, such as the Tektronix Phaser 550 printer.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, try using a different color and pattern or line style. For example, change the color for a grid line from gray to black and the line style from a dotted line to a solid line.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
