Watermarks won't print Ctrl-Alt-Del 12/9/2008 10:37:01 PM Got multiple users in an office who cannot print watermarks. Docs, regardless of origin, will not print watermarks on their printers. Same docs will print correctly elsewhere. This is across two (laser) printers, so likelihood 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. -- Ctrl-Alt-Del signing off
