FPNW Sends Print Operator Broadcasts to All Users

ID: Q150027

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

NetWare clients accessing print queues located on a File and Print Services for NetWare server receive printer broadcast notification messages for all printer errors. With the capture command specified in the user's logon script set for NONOTIFY, users who are not members of the Print Operators group still receive the printer messages. These messages indicate such error conditions as the printer being out of paper.

CAUSE

FPNW sends printer broadcast notification messages to all users.

RESOLUTION

FPNW has been modified so that only print operators receive the messages.

STATUS
