That sounds right to me.

Try this:
In a new Word document, insert one of your logos, then choose
Office Button | Save As
In the lower left corner of the Save As dialog box, there's a Tools button
that's actually a drop-down listbox. On it, there's a Compress Pictures
option; click that and use the resulting dialog to tell it NOT to compress
pictures.
Finish saving the file, then print. If that sorts it, we're onto something.
Now here's the charmer: this isn't a persistent setting. It's good for the
current document only. You have to remember to repeat this little fandango for
each and every document prior to saving, or your pictures will get compressed.
This explains how you can banish the demon in PPT:
PowerPoint 2007 makes pictures blurry, loses GIF animation

Perhaps there's a similar setting for Word and Excel.
