When you try to print a document in Microsoft Windows or Windows for
Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11 after you upgrade from Windows version 3.0,
you receive the error message:

CAUSE
This error occurs if you are using Windows version 3.0 Print Manager in
Windows or Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, expand the PRINTMAN.EX_ file from your original
Windows or Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11 disks to your Windows
directory using the command
expand <source>:\printman.ex_ <dest>:\<windows>\printman.exe
where <source> is the floppy disk drive containing the original Windows or
Windows for Workgroups disk, <dest> is the hard disk on your computer
containing your Windows directory, and <windows> is the Windows directory.
For example, if the original Windows disk is in drive A and your Windows
directory is called WINDOWS on drive C, use the command:
expand a:\printman.ex_ c:\windows\printman.exe
