i posted this before but got no replies that solved it so here goes again: have some grayscale ListDensityPlot's which render normally in the front end (Mathematica 4.0) but when printing out (under win98 to an nec superscript 1400 laser printer) the mid-range gray levels get mapped to white so that only the black cells print as black. the rest is white. the frame and ticks are still there....however, if i cut-paste (as metafile) to word97, and print from there they print normally - i.e with gray cells where they're supposed to be). i'd say that rules out a printer driver problem. otherwise what is word doing, circumventing it? no, more likely there's a bug in Mathematica's postscript description/generation. i got a reply to change the GraphicsPrintingFormat global option value to DownloadPostScript. in doing so, when i print i get a popup with 4 options: automatic, download postscript directly to printer, interpret postscript, and render postscript and print bitmap. however none of these solve my problems. in fact two of these (the 2nd and 3rd) print blank pages except for the notebook name at the top. any clue? alan calvitti dynamics of adaptive behavior lab, cwru axc at eecs.cwru.edu
