BUG: Color PostScript Drivers Report Incorrect Data

Last reviewed: January 5, 1995
Article ID: Q87349

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft Windows graphical environment, when an application creates a printer device context (DC) for a QMS ColorScript 100 printer or for a Seiko ColorPoint PS printer, and specifies the DC in a call to the GetDeviceCaps() function, each driver reports the following information about itself:

   BITSPIXEL  = 1
   PLANES     = 1
   NUMCOLORS  = 8

At least one of these numbers is incorrect in each case.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
