Problem

Solutions: On the 03/09/90 release of the Canon LBP 4 printer driver, the strikeout method was changed from "Auto Strikeout on Same Pass", to "WP's Strikeout on Separate Pass". This was not in the Software Change Notice on ANY dates. The big change is that before the 03/09/90 releases, when strikeout is chosen, the printer printed strikeout in reverse text. Now that the strikeout method has changed to be the "normal" way (it actually strikes it out), a couple of customers have complained that their reverse text does not work anymore. They have two options:

1.      They can create a graphics box and set gray shading=100%. Then, use the OUTLINE feature (Ctrl-F8, (A)ppearance, (O)utline) to have white text print on a black background. Note: If the customer tries to change the text color to white, they will get a pattern--not white, so they must use Outline.

2.      They can retrieve the .ALL file into the PTR program and then press Enter on the printer name. Highlight "Attribute Methods" and press Enter, then "Strikeout" and press Enter. The next step is to highlight "Auto Strikeout on Same Pass" and type an *. This selects the Auto Strikeout method. Save and replace the .ALL file and exit the PTR program. Enter WordPerfect and update the .PRS file by pressing Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer) and #7 (Update). This will change strikeout to the previous way. The customer must understand that if they do this, strikeout will NOT strikeout--it will print in reverse text.

Another customer was able to successfully use this method with the Canon LBP-8III printer.
