 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
When you print from Adobe Illustrator versions 4.0 or 4.03 to an HP printer in PCL mode with EMF spooling enabled, you may received a general protection fault.

CAUSE
The original entry for Adobe Illustrator is never seen by the Unidrv.dll file; therefore, Adobe Illustrator incorrectly prints in vector mode.

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, do one of the following:


 * Disable EMF spooling for the HP printer when printing from Adobe Illustrator 4.0 or 4.03.

-or-

  In the [Compatibility] section of the Win.ini file, change the line that reads "ILLUSTRATOR=0x8000" so that it reads: "ILLUSTRA=0x40008000" Note that the module name is truncated from ILLUSTRATOR in the original line to ILLUSTRA in the new line.
