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!

    I had the same problem today, and found a solution in the Community support forum. Use Microsoft AutoUpdater to install version 16.15. You may have to join the Office Insider program (check box in Updater window) to get this update.
