- TITLE :Err Msg: Could Not Set Printer: The Specified Separator...
- 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
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When you specify a separator file during remote administration of a
- Windows NT printer, if the Windows NT subdirectory name on the local
- computer and the remote computer (to which the printer is attached) do
- not match, you may receive the following error message:
-
- Could not set printer: The specified separator file is invalid.
-
- When you specify the location of a separator file, you can either type
- a filename directly, type a path and filename directly, or choose the
- ellipses (...) and use the Select Separator Page dialog box.
-
- If you include only a filename and that filename is located in the
- search path of the computer to which the printer is attached, no error
- message appears.
-
- If you type a filename and path name (not using the Select Separator
- Page dialog box) and include the location of the separator page on the
- computer to which the printer is attached, no error message appears.
-
- You use the Select Separator Page dialog box to locate the separator
- file on your local computer. This will not pose a problem if the file
- can be found in exactly the same path on the computer to which the
- printer is attached, but if any part of the path and/or filename is
- different, you will receive the error message when trying to close the
- Printer Properties dialog box.
-
- The computer to which the printer is attached stores the location of
- the separator file in its registry, even during remote administration.
- Because Windows NT stores the entire filename entered into the
- Separator File text box, when specifying a file, you must refer to a
- file that is located on that computer.
