Event ID 4024 with Services for the Macintosh

ID: Q150606

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

After you install an Apple Laserwriter on your network and set it up for spooling through Windows NT, the following message appears in Event Viewer:

Event id: 4024 Source: MacPrint Type: Error
The printer <printer name> could not be registered on the AppleTalk Network

CAUSE

The share name created for this printer on the Windows NT Server is the same as the printer name.

Apple Laserwriter printers connected to the network with a network interface card (NIC) or other adapter will broadcast themselves on the network. If the printer is created on a Windows NT Server for use by other clients on the network, and the share name is the same as the printer name, the printer will not be able to register itself on the network.

RESOLUTION

Change the share name of the printer to something other than the printer name.
