The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q84165

SYMPTOMS

If you use Microsoft Windows version 3.1 on a Novell network, you have persistent printer connections, and the print queue no longer exists or was renamed, then the following error message will be displayed:
<server>/<print queue> does not map to any volume/directory path on server <server name>
This error message appears each time Windows is started.

RESOLUTION

There are two ways to disable this message:

Method 1

  1. Run Control Panel and choose the Printers icon.
  2. Choose the Connect button and connect the LPTx port to another available print queue.
  3. Select the Permanent check box. This will overwrite the existing settings.
If the connection is not made permanent, the error message at startup will continue to be displayed.

Method 2

Edit the WIN.INI file's [network] section and delete the LPTx port reference to the print queue that no longer exists.
