SYMPTOMSThe following error message appears if a Windows for Workgroups server is attempting to share a printer in Print Manager and the TEMP directory is set to a drive that was created using the MS-DOS SUBST command:
CAUSEThe SUBST command allows specifying a drive letter for a PATH, which enables easier access to programs and data files. In Windows for Workgroups, these virtual drives cannot be shared, and because the TEMP directory is used during printing, TEMP also cannot be shared. WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, assign the TEMP variable to a valid (not virtual) directory. For example, if Windows is installed on the local drive C in the WINDOWS directory, add the following line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP (or any other valid directory) MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce Problem
