User is trying to print a black and white logo that is
overlayed on an american flag that is washed out. It is
the title slide of a presentation. It prints fine in
color but when printing black and white or grayscale, it
prints the logo as a block of black. It does this even if
I send the slide to Word and try to print and control the
object there.

Any suggestions for printing?
 
Go to View > Color/Grayscale and pick Pure Black and White. Select the
logo, right click and select Black and White Setting, and then experiment
with the various settings (grayscale, white, etc.) until the logo displays
to your liking. Then print.
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

When printing, PowerPoint detects whether or not the selected printer is
color capable or not and, if not, prints the slides in grayscale mode with
automatically applies certain rules as to how things will print differently
than if they were printed to a color printer.

PowerPoint provides an interface for controlling (on a per-object basis)
how things will print. Check out the help topics:

* Adjust presentation colors to print in black and white
* About printing in black and white

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how
PowerPoint might improve how it prints color content to black & white
printers, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to
Microsoft at:

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
