the selected colors may not match the printed output. Fonts and graphics that
contain the color orange will come out as yellow.

The HP DeskJet 850C printer driver is a new driver, which Microsoft released
after Service Pack 3 for Windows NT 3.51. The HP 850C driver incorrectly matches
orange to yellow.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This
problem was corrected in Windows NT Workstation or Server version 4.0.
