Problem

Symptoms: The customer has a CGM graphics file (with a hollow image) that prints correctly to an HP LaserJet III with a PostScript cartridge but prints as a solid figure on a regular PostScript printer. Solutions: This problem was duplicated in-house. The CGM graphics file the customer was using did not follow the correct format. The file contained too many color tables. The HP LaserJet III printer can add to color tables, but PostScript printers replace these tables with the last color table information they receive. The last one sent in this case was black, so the graphic came out black. In CGM files, the user should include only one table that holds all the color information.
