SYMPTOMS
========
If you log on as a user without the necessary privileges to create a printer on
a particular share, instead of getting an "access denied" message, you receive a
message that says the port name is invalid.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior may be caused by an incorrectly mapped error message. The correct
message should be "access denied."
RESOLUTION
==========
Log on to an account with the proper privileges to create a printer from the
given share.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. This
problem was corrected in Windows NT 3.5
