Even when PDF export quality is set to high - the images on the PPT are blurry when using PDF export.  The images are fine in the PPT itself.

Choose Help>Check for Updates and in that dialog, check Join the Office Insider program to get early access to new releases. Then choose Office Insider Slow for fairly well-tested code or Office Insider Fast for advanced features with more bugs. Don't choose the latter on a computer you use to get work done.

    That sort of thing is usually a problem between the program and the printer driver

    Try re-installing the printer driver following these instructions

    GENERAL- UPDATE DRIVERS IN WINDOWS 10

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402844...

    I am guessing he is not using Windows 10:

    Applies to: Office / PowerPoint / Mac /Office 2016 for Mac

    I am having the same issue.  Tried updating my driver for the Toshiba eStudio 2550c but it didn't seem to take (current driver version 7.54, tried to install version 7.89).

    I don't think anything has changed lately to cause this.  Did a system update since discovering the issue and that did not fix the problem.

    Thanks to anyone with an answer!

    Anyone have an idea how long it typically takes for a release to get from Office Insider Fast to the standard release that everyone gets? A few days, weeks, or months?

    Keep in mind that the steps from "isaacchambers" will offer you version 16.15 of all of the office applications (not just PowerPoint).  You do not have to install all of the applications (but can if you want to).  You can select "just" PowerPoint and then you can follow the "IMPORTANT" caveat in his steps.  There is always some risk when installing updates and installing Office Insider Fast build increases that risk.  If you use your computer as your main work device, you may want to be careful on how much risk you are willing to assume.

    Your mileage may vary.
