sql server programming : printing problem with MS database diagrams

Hi,

I've searched high and low for a solution to a annoying problem we have
when printing database diagrams.
This is SQL 2005 SP1, and the problem is that printouts have a large
gray box in the left hand corner of every table in the diagram. When
this gray box is in the lower left hand corner it's only annoying, but
when it's in the upper left hand corner it overlays the field names.

I have selected to show "Column name", "data type" and "Allow Null".
It occurs on both a hp Color jeg 4600 and HP Laserjet 9040 mfp.

Have anyone else seen this, and have anyone got a solution?
TIA

My colleague (Dorte Bjerremand B=E6rentzen) provided me with a
work-a-round to my problem:

Right-click the diagram and select "Copy diagram to clipboard".
Paste it into Word or something, then print it.
Not a nice solution, but it works.
