Print Browse List May Not Refresh Location Information

ID: Q177683

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you add or change the location information for a printer share when you are browsing a Windows NT print server, you may not be able to see the added or changed information (for example, a room number).

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, stop sharing the printer, and then share the printer again. After you restart sharing and then select the print server under the domain to which it belongs, the location information should be visible.

NOTE: If you select the computer name of the print server directly in the browse window, the displayed location information remains unchanged.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 and 4.0.
