The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 and 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

In Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51, the Server Viewer in Print Manager cannot open a print queue which is on that server itself. If you open Server Viewer and select the server you are currently on and then double- click one of the print queues, the following error message appears:

   Could not connect to printer: The filename, directory name, or
   volume label syntax is incorrect.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
