Are you using an Olympus Cue-2 system by any chance?  You shouldn't be 
getting distortions when you recall saved files to the TV (not computer)
screen.  However, when I print saved pictures on the laser printer, they 
are distorted as you say.  But, they are not distorted on a dot-matrix 
printer (which of course lacks the detail that you get from a laser).  
The Olympus rep told me it was related to the differences in the 
printer control characters for each type of printer.  SWM
