That's OK... i had a massive document of handouts ready for use in a 
game and had used a feature in my WP (Mariner Write) to make bits of 
documents look like they had been 'blacked out' and even varied the 
tint slightly to make some readable... if you squinted just right. Then 
I print (which involves, at present, a messy arrangement of bringing my 
laptop to work with all print documents converted to a form I can deal 
with on MacOS X (No Illustrator on Mac OS X, at least for me!), qued 
the print job to a suspended local print spooler, then triggered it as 
I grabbed a spare chair after hours in the section of my department 
that's on a different floor, but kept the color printer... And I find 
out that it's not printing the backgrounds for some reason that I don't 
have time to troubleshoot since I was running from these notes the next 
evening... Argh.
