SYMPTOMS
========

If you print a slide that contains rotated text to a Canon LBP 1260 printer, the
rotated text prints horizontally.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs if you use the Windows 3.x printer driver for this printer
under Windows 95.


WORKAROUND
==========

Use the Windows 95 "Add a Printer" Wizard to install the HP LaserJet IIISi
printer driver. Print to the LBP 1260 using this driver.

MORE INFORMATION

only black and white printing.
