Printer Driver [printer driver name] was added or updated. Files: [list of updated files]

MORE INFORMATION

The Event 20 message could be caused by the following events that take place when printing with the SnaPrint Service:

If the drivers for a remote printer are not installed on the SNA Server computer, the Windows NT spooler service will copy the drivers locally in order to print.

If the drivers for the remote printer ARE installed on the SNA Server computer, the spooler service still checks the remote printer server for updated drivers. If the drivers are newer than the ones installed on SNA Server, then the newer ones are temporarily copied locally to print the job.

These events occur for every print job that is sent through an SNA Server print session. The message does not cause any problems with printing, and can be considered an informational message.
