SYMPTOMS
When you print to a Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 or 3.5 print server, the print
job is always listed as "Remote Downlevel Document" in the print queue.
-or-
When you print from an MS-DOS-based program to a Windows NT 3.51 print
server, the print job is always listed as "Remote Downlevel Document" in
the print queue.
CAUSE
When Windows 95 prints to a Windows NT print server, Windows NT names the
print job "Remote Downlevel Document" and returns this name to Windows 95
when the print job is enumerated.
RESOLUTION
If you do not want your print jobs from Windows-based programs labeled this
way, upgrade your Windows NT print server to version 3.51.
There is currently no workaround for MS-DOS-based programs printing to a
Windows NT 3.51 print server.
