SYMPTOMS
========

When you start the Add Printer Wizard, you may receive the following error
message:

  Out of resources.

  Printer operation cannot continue due to lack of resources. The specified
  module could not be found.

CAUSE
=====

The Ntprint.dll file in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder may be missing or
damaged.

RESOLUTION
==========

Expand a new copy of the Ntprint.dll file from the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM to the
%SystemRoot%\System32 folder using the following steps:

1. If an Ntprint.dll file already exists in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder,
  rename it to Ntprint.old.

2. Place the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

3. Type the following line at a command prompt:

  expand d:\i386\ntprint.dl_ c:\winnt\system32\ntprint.dll

  NOTE: This article assumes that Windows NT is installed in the Winnt folder on
  drive C and that the CD-ROM drive is drive D. If this is not the case, adjust
  the command as necessary.
