I have a picture I placed to the edge of the page ..... the made a
rectangle and faded the inside from white to clear and placed it over the
picture which results in a nice fade of the picture to the edge of the
paper ... well at least it sure does on screen.

Problem is it just doesn't print whats on screen, instead it cuts off the
picture where the rectangle was placed over the picture.


Export the publication as a PDF and print that.

Rectangles along all 4 sides of the business card. 4 of them. The
rectangles are filled with a gradient from white to clear to give the
look of the picture having a nice fade out on the edge.

Not a printer issue.

==============================
OK...I get it now.

Sounds like you could prepare this
picture in an advanced image editing
program and just soften the edges.

If you would like to upload the file to
YouSendIt I'll have a look.

All you have to do is enter an e-mail
address in the "To:" (Recipient) field
and click the "Browse" button to select
the file you wish to upload. Then click
the "Send It" button.

The next screen that appears will give
you the download link. Just copy/paste
it into your newsgroup reply.

=======================================
I downloaded your project and I must be missing
something...I don't see four rectangles I only see one.
And there is a copy in the scratch area that can be
deleted.

Anyway...try grouping all the components (just drag a
box around the whole project and click the lock). If this
will not print...try saving the grouped project as a picture
and reinsert it on a 3.5x2 blank and try to print that.

If the graident is removed and all the components are
grouped and saved as a picture...the edges can be
softened in an editing program. Here's a test sample:

https://www.yousendit.com/download/U...YWIzS3BFQlE9PQ
Just add this picture to a blank 3.5x2.

If all these fail...yes...you do have a printer problem.

Were you using Publisher's built-in PDF export or a third-party solution?

This runs it through Publisher's printing component, and thus encounters
the same problems observed with other printers.

Exporting as a PDF using Publisher's built-in PDF functionality
semi-bypasses the printing component, and normally makes
semitransparency work properly. The add-in is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...B-63B07BA5F2E5
(requires Publisher 2007)
