SYMPTOMS
If you log on as a user without the necessary privileges to create a printer on a particular share, instead of getting an "access denied" message, you receive a message that says the port name is invalid.



CAUSE
This behavior may be caused by an incorrectly mapped error message. The correct message should be "access denied."



RESOLUTION
Log on to an account with the proper privileges to create a printer from the given share.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. This problem was corrected in Windows NT 3.5
