INF: Trace Option in LPR Print Monitor
Last reviewed: March 26, 1997
Article ID: Q141712
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server, versions 3.51 and 4.0

SUMMARY

When you have problems printing to a printer controlled by LPRMON, a trace can be useful. Lprmon.dll has a trace function built in to the checked version. When you replace Lprmon.dll in the System32 directory with the checked version and restart the spooler service, an Lprerr.log file is generated.
