May Not Print Symptom Thin lines in BorderArt or imported pictures in a Publisher 2000 publication do not print on a high-resolution PostScript device. Cause The BorderArt or imported picture contains hairlines. PostScript printer drivers do not include a definition for hairlines. Instead, the driver uses resolution settings to determine how wide to print the lines.
Hairlines appear as one pixel wide on whatever device is used to display or print the line.
Workaround, Method 1 Replace the hairlines with thicker lines. Use a program, such as Microsoft Draw, to break the picture or BorderArt into separate components and to draw thicker lines. Then, replace the original BorderArt or picture with the new version. Workaround, Method 2 Print at a resolution of 1,200 dpi or lower. Publisher ships with a PPD file called Msgenbw.ppd, which supports most popular imagesetters and uses a resolution of 600 dpi.
