We had the same problems with MI/W2k/HP750 and the black pattern fills, and went through the process of changing to an older version HP printer driver and turning on/off the various settings suggested by other Listers, but no change:-
UNTIL we chose a different specific model printer to ours (by trial & error) - all is OK now.
The current successful setting is:
NT (not W2k) HP driver ver 4.60
Model chosen - HP755CM (C3198B)
We also had one of our clients use this exact same setup and it also worked for them (for plotting on a HP750).
Hope this helps - it sure wasted a lot of our time sorting it out.
Regards
Rod Dawney

Sometimes I have a problem, that pattern filled polygons are displayed well in the layout window, but printed solid black.
Neither downgranding the printer driver, nor changing the print options inside mapinfo seem to solve the problem.
I also tried to save the Layouts to PDF with the Acrobat PDF-Writer, but similar problems showed up: In this case, the patterns appear coloured, but either half transparent or complete opaque. They have still nothing in common with the original patterns (diagonal lines) in MI.
I assume, this is rather a MI problem, than a problem with printer drivers, as I have various problems with different printer drivers. Also a Deskjet Driver (DJ 930c) didn't print the patterns as expected. They were printed as fine lines, but with a half transparent grey background between them.
I even get different results in the same Layout. In two map windows displayed in the same layout, the same pattern is printed well in one map, but printed solid black on the other.
