SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to print to a Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0-based print server
from a client computer running an earlier operating system, such as Microsoft
Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, you may experience random
incorrect output. For example:

- Bullets may not be printed correctly.

- Bold titles may print as regular text, not bold.

- Underlined text may be printed only as the underline, with no text.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this behavior, disable Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spooling on the
server. Follow these steps:

1. In the Printers folder, click the printer whose properties you want to
  change.

2. On the File menu, click Properties.

3. Click PrintProcessor.

4. Click Always Spool RAW Datatype.
