7203.0. "Unable to print from W95 through NT to LPS17" by 18649::HOLLAND () Fri May 16 1997 13:00

I'm working with a customer who wants to print to a PrintServer 17
from Windows 95 machines through an NT server.

He has installed the PrintServer Software on his NT system and is
printing fine from there.

On NT he shared the LPS17 printer. When he tries to print from Windows
95 clients the following error occurs:

	PRINTER'S FOLDER

	There was an error writing to //machine/device for printer
	LPS1 (Digital PrintServer 17). The access code is invalid.
	This printer will be set to work off line.

He has another printer (HP) that is shared and is working. Does
anyone know what this error means?

Thank you.

	What version of Windows NT?
7203.2		18649::HOLLAND		`Fri May 16 1997 23:58`	1
	The Windows NT version is 4.0.

	I asked what version of Windows NT because I know that security and permissions are much different between '3.51 and '4.0. This looks like some sort of error related to the authorized users for this queue. I've never seen anything like this before, though.
