SYMPTOMS
========
Printing from a 16-bit application, such as Windows Write, causes the
application to stop responding (hang) if the application prints directly to the
ports and there is no printer attached to the port. Once the application has
hung, it cannot be terminated.
RESOLUTION
==========
Do not print to a port that does not have a printing device attached to it or
there is a problem with the print device.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and
3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
