This article was previously published under Q142054 SYMPTOMS
If you are auditing the print jobs as they are processed through the
Event viewer, the Print Job/Document number resets every time it reaches
255 in Windows NT 3.51. In previous versions, this number did not reset and
continued to increase.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Server versions 3.51 and 4.0. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
In Windows NT 3.5, print job auditing is accomplished by viewing the
document number in Event ID 10 in the Event Viewer. This system event also
provides information about the user who printed the file, the size of the
print job and the printer or port name. The Print Job/Document number does
not reset unless you clear the event log or reboot the computer.
