SYMPTOMS

On a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based computer, you try to print a picture that contains black or white colored brush strokes to a Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW) printer. However, the MXDW printer may not print correctly strokes that were created by using a black or white colored brush.
Back to the top | Give Feedback

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the MXDW does not support Raster Operations (ROPs). This problem occurs because, for a black or white colored brush, the MXDW printer interprets the white strokes to be transparent and the black strokes to be opaque.
