Print Manager does not start automatically when you start Microsoft Windows
for Workgroups version 3.11, even though you have shared a printer.

RESOLUTION
If Print Manager does not start automatically for print sharing, you may
need to enable file sharing along with print sharing. To enable file
sharing, follow these steps:
- Double-click the Network Setup icon in the Network program group.
- Choose the Sharing button.
- Select the "I want to be able to give others access to my files" check
box.
- Choose the OK button.
- Choose OK.
- Choose OK to confirm the modifications to the SYSTEM.INI file.
- Choose the Restart Windows button. NOTE: Make sure to save and close
any open work on your computer before you choose this button.
You should also make sure that Print Manager is not loaded in the Startup
program group and that PRINTMAN.EXE is not specified in the "Load=" or the
"Run=" line in the WIN.INI file.
