Access Violation in Spooler When Using NotepadLast reviewed: November 26, 1997Article ID: Q162770 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSUnder certain circumstances, you may get a SPOOLSS access violation (AV) when you select Print Setup from within Notepad on a print server. In the Dr. Watson log or user mode memory dump, you will see that the access violation occurs in EnumeratePrinters in Spoolss.dll.
CAUSEThis error can occur when a printer is attached to LPT1 and is shared on the network. If you are connecting to the printer through the share instead of the LPT port, the access violation may occur.
WORKAROUNDOn the computer that has the printer installed, print to the local port instead of to the network share.
