My computer is running Windows XP with 384MB of RAM, and I
am using Publisher 2000. I am printing to a HP color
laserjet 5 which HP does not offer any drivers on thier
site for this printer and Win XP. The HP driver site for
this printer says that the driver was included into
Windows XP. The printer is connected using the parallel
port.
I have cropped a picture of a group of teens and made
three pictures out of the one and added some text to
create a publicity flier. I accomplish this by inserting
the picture and then making 2 copies of it and then I crop
each one to make 3 different pictures. When I print to an
HP 7550 inkjet, the page prints correctly. When I print
to the color laserjet 5, the 3 pictures in the project
print like the original picture before cropping and the
teens are distorted by being stretched vertically. It is
almost like Publisher is remembering the picture before it
was cropped and this file has even been saved to the
harddrive and reopened. Can anyone help? Please!

Try doing the photo editing in an actual editing program, save the pictures
as 3 separate pictures, then import them into Pub. Publisher isn't really
meant to be used as a photo editing program.
You could also see if you are using the correct driver for the printer by
using your XP disk.
