SYMPTOMS

When a Windows for Workgroup client sends a print job to Windows NT print queue servicing an Apple IIG or a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4, no output may be seen or an error may print on the print job.

CAUSE

Windows for Workgroups sends a CTRL-D at the beginning of the print job. Some printers such as the Apple IIG and the HP LaserJet 4 do not recognize the CTRL-D at the beginning of the print job.

RESOLUTION

To workaround this issue, choose another printer to print from the Windows for Workgroup client.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT version 3.51. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
