Printing problems

Hi all, I'm a newbie here.

I have a query and hope someone can be of some assistance. Possibly an easy one to solve...

We have a customer that has a Lexmark printer and when printing ONLY Microsoft Office documents to the printer the images are faint (although text is fine). It is fine when printing from our own software & Windows test pages. printer company say there's nothing wrong with the printer . This could be as easy as a small setting somewhere but could not find anything.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

First thing I checked. I am going to try re-installing printer driver today (If I ever get it) and see how it goes from there.

Re: Printing problems

Sorry for stating the obvious; just wanted us to be covered. Does this issue happen when you print from Print Preview, as well?

A couple of references:
How to troubleshoot printing problems in Word 2007 or in Word 2003
How to troubleshoot problems that you may experience when you try to print to a local printer by using Office programs in Windows XP
