7165.0. "Colorwriter LSR 2000 software issue" by CSCMA::RUSSELL () Wed Apr 16 1997 14:51

Hi,

Has anyone heard about this before?

When installing the colorwriter s.w. on an NT server, in this case
the NT is V4.0,

When the install prompts you if you want to share clients...
It will ask you if you want to W95 clients? when you select "yes"
the install fails.

If you install the colorwriter s.w. on each indivual W95 client the install
will work fine.


Is this a bug with the s.w.? 

I have customer that does not want to install the colrowriter s.w. on each
and every W95 print client on the network.

Thank You,
Lynda

    by "s.w.", do you mean the utilities or the printer drivers?

    it's the Printdrivers that are failing, 
    
    On the NT server runnning v4.0,the customer can install the drivers
    for other nt print clients with no problems. It's the W95 print clients
    that are the problem, he is not able to setup print shares from the NT
    server. 
    
    Note that when he connects directly into a W95 client, he can install
    the printdriver. It's only from the NT server that it fails.
    
    Thank You,
