Works: GP Fault When You Print or Preview with Toshiba P351 (126764)

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to print or print preview using the Windows 3.x Toshiba P351 printer driver (version 3.0) in Works or Windows Write, you receive the following error message:

Works:

MSWorks caused a General Protection Fault in Module TOSHIBA.DRV

Write:

Write caused a General Protection Fault in Module COMMDLG.DLL

NOTE: This problem also occurs if you use the Windows 3.0 driver under Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

If you are using Windows 95, install the Toshiba P351 printer driver that comes with Windows 95.
If you are using Windows 3.0, use one of the emulation drivers listed below.

The Toshiba P1351 and P351 drivers emulate the following printers:

P351/P351c/P341/P341e/P321
P1352/P1340
P1350
Qume Sprint 11 (Daisy wheel printer emulation)
Qume Sprint 5 (Daisy wheel printer emulation)
IBM Proprinter
Another printer whose emulation card you have installed in the printer. (Toshiba has stopped manufacturing printers and the supply of emulation cards is limited.)

NOTE: From the user's guide for the Toshiba P351sx, Section 4/3:

   If you use an emulation other than the Toshiba printer's native mode
   (QUME), you'll be able to print images and text, but they'll look as
   if they were printed on the emulated printer (within the limitations
   of the emulated printer). The text and images may not be as clear as
   if they were printed with the native Toshiba sequences.
