I have inserted a picture into my PowerPoint, but when I print the slide the
picture box is completely black. I can pint the picture by itself just fine
and print preview is fine, this is only happening when I print. Please advise.
Thank you.

What is your print setting in PPT (Color - Grayscale - Black/White)? And do
other photos print as expected?

All photos print fine and all print settings are normal for standard color
printing. I can print the picture fine sperately, but it wont print in PP. I
seems to be effected by a setting that is foreign to me. Any other ideas that
my help.
Thank you in advacne.

Try this:

Select the picture, press Ctrl+C to copy it.

Add a new slide and choose Edit, Paste Special and choose PNG to paste a copy of
the picture onto the new slide.

Try printing just that slide.

If not, and if you still have the original picture, open it in a picture editor
other than Photoshop and resave to a new filename as PNG or JPG and insert the
newly saved file into PPT via Insert, Picture, From File.

If not, shoot me.
