Hi Michael,

What if anything do you know about HP printers+WindowsXP
not printing images in the MS Plus for XP CD Label Maker
A4 Templates? (specifically Photo Smart 7150) Instead of
the chosen image, the area in the template where I've
chosen to insert the image is completly filled in with
black ink. I've even tried removing the black ink
cartridge to no avail. I've called HP several times and
they claim to have never heard of this issue, but
according to this newsgroup (In the Plus section) there
are several posts with this same issue. I've also called
Dell because they are supposed to support this software
since I purchased it with the computer. They have no
idea either and I don't expect them to.


Any insight you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!
