I'm looking for suggestions why text would print as white instead of black. On the screen, it's black, and it looks black in preview.

- I'm print text on top of a PNG image.
- I'm using the Cooper black font.
- The 24-pt and 18-pt text is almost complete white with some thin horizontal lines running through the test. Those lines are in the same place every time I print a test.
- The 12-pt is almost more transparent or copper. (The part of the image it's printing on black but semi-transparent. Could that be part of a problem -- is there difficulty printing on top of semi-transparent images?)
- I tried changing to the Hoefler font in case it was a font thing, but I get the same behavior.
- I typed a line in Cooper Black in TextEdit as a test, and it prints fine.
- The black in the images print correctly.
- The printer is an inkjet Brother MFC-5440CN, in case anyone thinks it's part of the problem. If I print to a Black & White laser printer, everything looks fine.
- If I change the text to red instead of black, it prints correctly.

I know it's not an OmniGraffle problem, because I created the same drawing in Freehand (pasted in the image and typed over it) and got the same results. If I go to the original Fireworks image and put text on top of it, the text prints darker -- more of an pale orangish instead of white -- but still not black.

If anyone wants to test it out for me on their own printer, I can send the OG file to you.
