Hi!

I'm still a clueless newbie, and I'm probably doing something really
obviously wrong, but...

I have Corel Draw 6.0 with Windows 95, am printing to an HP LaserJet 5P,
and am unable to get it to print white text on a black background. I've
been through just about all the combinations I can come up with in the
printer options/properties, and the preview image looks right, but it
just keeps printing the text black (hence, invisible).

I have the same problem with Powerpoint, but Word prints exactly what's
on the screen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Nancy

I had the same problem and the only way I could print it was to convert the text to curves. I don't know why
but this works perfect. If anyone has any better solutions please get in touch.

I treat it on the assumption that Corel dos NOT have an "Automatic"
bkgd, so I make a black box and set white type.

It prints right on my HP LaserJet IIP+ and my DeskJet 855c.

it is enough if you put a little black or white outline around the
text. with no outline it wont print white on black, with any outline
it will. this bug is fixed in corel 7
