"Watermarks" in slide master obliterate slide content when printed

I have a PPT with a "watermark" included. The watermark has text (e.g.,
"draft") in light gray. On display (in color) the watermark is fine - it's
light gray and in the background behind the slide content. When printed (on
a black and white laser printer), the text is dark and appears to be on top
of the content - it blocks out the content. This behaviour occurs on
multiple printers - different brands and models. The print properties are
set to use "grayscale." I'd appreciate any help on how to make the
"watermark" work when printed on black and white printers. Thanks.

Go to View/Black and White, then to View/Master (assuming your watermark is
on the master). Right-click the watermark and choose B/W Settings. See if
light grayscale there does what you want. If not, probably another of the
settings will.
