The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

The Microsoft Windows version 3.0 Control Panel allows you to delete a printer while an application is printing to that printer.

The print job completes normally because it can still access the correct driver; however if you try to start another print job later with the same driver, it fails.
