TITLE :HP 1200C PostScript Color Printer Prints Black-and-White
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you print from an Apple Macintosh with Windows NT Services for
Macintosh (SFM) to a shared PostScript color printer that does not have a
Windows NT driver and includes a PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) file,
such as the Hewlett-Packard (HP) DJ1200C, it prints in black-and-white or
grayscale.
CAUSE
=====
The cause of this problem is that the Macintosh client queries the server
for information about the printer. If the printer being used is PostScript
and has a PPD file, the file is read for printer capabilities. However, if
there is not a corresponding PPD file, this prompts the server to return
default information to the Macintosh client. The default information
returned is set up for a black-and-white printer.
If you set up your printer with a non-PostScript driver, the Macintosh
Services checks the default non-PostScript device. The default is set to
Color=False in this device; therefore, you cannot work around this problem
by setting up the driver with a non-PostScript version for the same
printer.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Advanced Server
version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
The Hewlett-Packard 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.
