SYMPTOMS
========
Postscript print jobs sent to shared AppleTalk printers through Services for
Macintosh (SFM) may not print correctly, or may not get printed.
CAUSE
=====
The Services for Macintosh printer monitor incorrectly removes Postscript
printer reset characters (0x04) from the end of each print buffer when it sends
print data to a shared AppleTalk printer. Both valid printer resets and 0x04
occurrences in binary-encoded data are removed. This keep valid printer resets
from executing, and corrupts binary data streams, preventing the job from
printing correctly.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, upgrade to Windows NT 3.51 (if you have not already
done so) and install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5 and 3.51.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT
version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
