I am using Powerpoint 2003. I import pictues into my presentations that I've
created/edited in Photoshop elements 4.0, in PNG format. My problem is, I
insert a picture into a presentation that I've erased the background, usually
white, in Elements. I do this mainly for a "clean" company logo over another
colored background. On screen, My slides appear the way I want. When I
print the background of the picture shows back up (logo on white background).
What's wierd is, my home computer and printer, this doesn't happen. At
work, at Kinkos, the background comes back. Is this a print driver issue, or
a version issue? Thanks

Wild guess: you have a PostScript printer at Kinkos and a non-PS printer at
home.

As a test, try a version of the logo w/o transparency, import it as a PNG into
PPT (using Insert, Picture, From File) then use PPT's own transparency tool to
make the b/g transparent.
