When printing a crystal report they have a headder that prints out all black.  
It used to be Black with white lettering but now it is all black.  Also the 
text that does print is fuzzy.

If, while printing, they go to Advanced Settings and choose another print 
driver it works fine.  

If I perform the reg hack below some of the icons are grainy\blotchy but the 
headder is fine and there is no fuzziness.  I am thinking that they can just 
deal with this.

Since the UPD is not configurable I do not see how the issue could be fixed 
unless we tried to change the way the reports print which I am told is not an 
option.

Has anyone even bothered to ask what the problem was anyway?  Maybe it could 
have been fixed without hacking out drivers.
