Postscript Jobs Do Not Print Correctly Over SFM and AppleTalk (131689)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q131689 SYMPTOMS
Postscript print jobs sent to shared AppleTalk printers through Services
for Macintosh (SFM) may not print correctly, or may not get printed.
CAUSE
The Services for Macintosh printer monitor incorrectly removes Postscript
printer reset characters (0x04) from the end of each print buffer when it
sends print data to a shared AppleTalk printer. Both valid printer resets
and 0x04 occurrences in binary-encoded data are removed. This keep valid
printer resets from executing, and corrupts binary data streams, preventing
the job from printing correctly.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, upgrade to Windows NT 3.51 (if you have not
already done so) and install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT
version 3.51.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5 and
3.51. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Windows NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack,
