I've read through all the threads on this issue and have tried all the options, to no avail. I'm using W2k current SP, LDD4 all patches installed. The OLE objects are both from Word and Excel 2000. The OLE objects do plot on our HP1050C but not on our new HP5100DTN. I've tried setting up the Laserjet as a PCL6 and a PCL5e. I've tried using them as a system printer and using the PC3 files. I've tried setting the options as line art (which is our norm) and as text, and setting it to use the OLE application while printing. None of this has worked. Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated. Lisa Pohlmeyer Huffcut & Associates
