When you print colored text from an application (such as Microsoft Word 6.0
for Windows) to a color printer using UNIDRV, you may not get the exact
colors as shown on the screen. For example, in Word for Windows, dark blue
prints as blue.

UNIDRV.DLL uses DMCOLOR as the color brute library. DMCOLOR uses RGB color
format and does not dither text colors. As a result, for text, you can
print only eight colors.

One possible workaround for this problem is to install and use the latest
printer driver, if one is available.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
