Re: Overlay printing

["Charles Wilt" <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check the printer writer job log for messages.

You might want to check the resolution of the overlay vs. what the
printer can handle.  It's easy to create a 600 dpi overlay and try to
print it to a 240dpi printer.  There's a setting (fidelity?) somewhere
in the printer DEVD/WTR/WSCT(?) that controls rather the printer is
allowed to printer a document that specifies another resolution.  By
default the answer is *NO.

HTH,
