SYMPTOMS
When you run Windows NT Print Manager, choose Connect To Printer from the Printer menu, and browser a domain, it's printers are not displayed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the domain name includes an exclamation point. Because the exclamation point (!) character is used as a separator by the code that enumerates printers, the printers do not get enumerated correctly.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use the exclamation point character in your domain or printer names.

Additional query words: 3.10 prodnt enumerate
