Re: CA/95 printer crashes with certain listings.

[LAN400GEEK <LAN400GEEK@xxxxxxx>]

Pedro, 
If you click on Start, Settings, Printers, right-click on the printer and
click Properties, click on the details tab (at the top), click on the "Spool
settings..." button, and in the long box next to "Spool data format" click the
down arrow and change that value from EMF to RAW, click OK and reboot.  If the
problem continues, go back to where you changed EMF to RAW (or if it was
already set to RAW), and click the option to "Print directly to the printer".
This has worked for me on many occasions with CA/400, Rumba printers, and
Novell Rprinters.  Good luck!!

    Hi there.
 
    I have the most weird problem with CA/400 for Win95. I setup 
 printers in two different pc's, and they seem to work. Whenever 
 certain listings are sent to the printers, the win95 pc crashes, 
 showing a spool32 error. More, if i reboot the pc, when it comes up, 
 tells me that there are certain listings in the spooler, and if i 
 want to try to print them. I accept, and bang, the same crash. Whats 
 more, this didnt seem to happen in another AS/400 at our offices. I 
 did a clean 95 and CA/400 install, SF41904 service pack, and the same 
 happens. Any ideas? The printers are dot matrix ones, both from Oki. 
 One uses a Epson LQ2550 driver, the other, a Oki521ML one. The OS/400 
 release is 3.7.
 
 
 Thanks in advance,
