General Protection Fault in Pscript.drv When Printing

Last reviewed: March 7, 1996
Article ID: Q132799

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you print a document on a PostScript printer, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault in the Pscript.drv file.

CAUSE

The current implementation of the Windows 95 PostScript driver can only support a maximum of 590 Adobe Type Manager (ATM) fonts. If the total number of ATM fonts installed is 590 or greater, you may receive a GP fault.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, reduce the number of ATM fonts to a number less than 590.
