SYMPTOMS
========
When you print a Word 97 document that contains a large table with borders
and/or shading to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 printer, the document may
print very slowly.
Changing the printer driver settings does not correct the problem; in fact, this
may make the delay even more noticeable.
This problem has also been reported on the Okidata OL-400, Okidata OL-830, NEC
Pinwriter 6300, NEC 6300, Panasonic KXP 4420, and Epson LQ 2550.
This problem does not occur when printing to an HP LaserJet IIIsi or 4si.
WORKAROUND
==========
Use the HP LaserJet IIIsi or 4si printer driver.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
