TITLE :Err Msg: There are no Print Processors... Creating a Printer
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Under Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server, if no print processor
is specified in the Registry, and if the print processor file is not
in the correct subdirectory, or if the print processor file
(WINPRINT.DLL) is corrupt, you may receive the following error message
when you attempt to create a printer with Print Manager:
There are no print processors.
This error message prevents you from creating a printer. The Print
Processor, WINPRINT.DLL, is usually located in the
winnt\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 subdirectory. If this file is
missing or corrupt, you may receive the above error message.
RESOLUTION
==========
To avoid this error message, expand a copy of WINPRINT.DLL to the
winnt\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 subdirectory.
NOTE: WINPRINT.DL_ is on disk 15 of the Windows NT and the Windows NT
Advanced Server disks.
Also, it may be necessary to verify that the Print Processor is set up
correctly in the Registry using the Registry Editor (REGEDT.EXE). Use
the following path:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
risk.

If the winprint Key is not present, add it by choosing Add Key from
the Edit menu. Also, if WINPRINT.DLL is not specified as the driver in
the winprint Key, choose Add Value from the Edit menu and use the
following settings:
Driver:REG_SZ:winprint.dll
