Printing in PCL Mode from Adobe Illustrator Causes GP Fault

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you print from Adobe Illustrator versions 4.0 or 4.03 to an HP printer in PCL mode with EMF spooling enabled, you may received a general protection fault.

CAUSE

The original entry for Adobe Illustrator is never seen by the Unidrv.dll file; therefore, Adobe Illustrator incorrectly prints in vector mode.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, do one of the following:

• Disable EMF spooling for the HP printer when printing from Adobe Illustrator 4.0 or 4.03.

• In the [Compatibility] section of the Win.ini file, change the line that reads

  ILLUSTRATOR=0x8000

  so that it reads:

  ILLUSTRA=0x40008000

  Note that the module name is truncated from ILLUSTRATOR in the original line to ILLUSTRA in the new line.
