Scanner problem

Mel....I'm scanning in 8 1/2 by 11 Menus which is text. I'm scanning them in a Pictures, into MSPub and the pages looks fine BUT...when I print them out...each letter has a "shadow" (a duplicate of the letter offset down and to the right about 1/8".

Strangest thing I've ever seen. Makes it hard to read the menu because of this shadow.

I do have an OCR program on my pc but couldn't find anything there.

I'm just scanning in pictures...which happen to be a Menu with words.

I'll keep plugging along. Maybe one of the techie kids at Staples or Office Max has an idea.

Thanks....Don Alm

And have you tried printing directly from an image editing program (or from Internet Explorer?)

It could be a print head problem (which you would diagnose if it does this when you try to print text or anything else.) Also, try looking at the picture in IE -- IE should actually be able to open it up and view it.

That will tell you which device is causing the problem. If you can print from IE with no shadow and look and see no shadow, then the problem is MS Publisher. Reinstall MS Publisher.
