SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to print a document in CorelDRAW version 4.0, you may receive a
general protection (GP) fault in Cdrgrfx40. In CorelDRAW version 5.0, you may
receive a GP fault in Cdrgfx50.
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur if the path to the printer contains more than 19
characters. CorelDRAW cannot handle a path of more than 19 characters to the
printer.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
- Use a printer path with 19 or less characters. For example, the path
\\server123\printer (19 characters)
works, but the path
\\server123\printer1 (20 characters)
does not.
- Redirect an LPT port to the network printer share. To do so, follow these
steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Printers.
- Use the right mouse button to click the printer icon, then click
Properties on the menu that appears.
- On the Details tab, click Capture Printer Port.
- In the Device box, click the printer port you want to redirect.
- In the Path box, type the path for the network printer.
- If you want to use this printer each time you start Windows 95, click the
Reconnect At Logon check box to select it.
- Click OK.
MORE INFORMATION
================
