DOCUMENT:Q106051 10-DEC-1993 [W_NT] TITLE :Errors Printing from Windows for Workgroups PRODUCT :Windows NT PROD/VER:3.10 OPER/SYS:WINDOWS KEYWORDS: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1 - Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you attempt to print from a Windows for Workgroups 3.1 to a Windows NT 3.1 or Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1 computer that is sharing a printer on the network, the first print job works, but after that, the printer reports !ERROR in Print Manager (on the Windows for Workgroups computer) and no more jobs work correctly. Quitting and restarting Windows for Workgroups 3.1 allows the computer to print again, but the error appears again after the first print job. CAUSE ===== This problem may be due to the Windows for Workgroup's computer running Banyan VINES software in addition to Windows for Workgroups. Banyan VINES adds the following lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file of the Windows for Workgroups computer: ban /nc redirall arswait Z:login Z:setmsgs off In addition, Banyan VINES adds the following lines to the Windows for Workgroups computer's SYSTEM.INI: [Boot] secondnet=vines.drv [386 enh] secondnet=vvinesd.386 [network] multinet=vines500 RESOLUTION ========== Removing the Banyan VINES software from the Windows for Workgroups 3.1 computer by using the Network application in Control Panel removes these entries and corrects the problem. The Banyan product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
