    A system running WIN95 is printing out "black" pages from Powerpoint. 
    It prints fine from WORD,EXCEL, etc., it seems isolated to Powerpoint.
    The printer is a ported DEClaser 3500.  Powerpoint will print to a 
    queued printer without a problem.  I've reinstalled  MSOFFICE in case
    something was corrupt, not a fix.  I've looked through every setting
    imaginable and nothing jumps out at me.  Any suggestions?
    
    Thanks.

|     What is the background colour set to on the slide?  What is the status
    of the 'black and white' checkbox on the printer properties page?

    The background setting is white and the checkbox on the printer
    properties page is checked for 'black and white'.  The strange
    thing that I noticed after posting my note is that it only 
    prints the first page black, the rest of the document comes out
    fine.  I originally had only printed a single page so thought
    everything was coming out black but that's not the case, only
    first page.
