SYMPTOMS

When you drag a Paint file to a printer in the printers folder or on the desktop, the Printing dialog box appears, but the printer's name is not displayed. The dialog box contains a message similar to:

   Printing <filename> on the <blank> on <blank> Page <x>

RESOLUTION

Although the Printing dialog box does not show the information about the printer, the document is printed correctly. If you prefer to see the printer name appear in the dialog box, print the file directly from Paint.
