SYMPTOM:

Symptoms for PSERVER.NLM:
    1. Printing will stop with jobs still in the queue(s) in an
active state. This symptom was seen with PSERVER versions prior
to         4.10.
    2. Some of the bindery related print server API's were not
supported in versions of PSERVER.NLM prior to the included             
4.11 version.  This would be evident in some 3rd party printing
applications.

 Symptoms for NPRINTER.EXE:
    1. When NPRINTER.EXE is loaded, the form feed (or buffer)
indicator at the attached printer lights.  This is true only for            
parallel connected printers. (The shipping 4.1 NPRINTER.EXE (ver
4.10)does not have this problem).

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the print server is unloaded and reloaded the print jobs in
the queue(s) will resume printing.

CAUSE

ECBs not being released for further use.

 Whatever character that happens to be in the parallel pert
transmit buffer is strobed into the printer's receive buffer
during the initialization of NPRINTER.

SOLUTION: 

Apply the files in the self-extracting file PS4X03.EXE.
