SYMPTOMS
In Photo Editor, when you click Print on the File menu, you receive the following error message:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

When you click Details, you see a message similar to the following:

PHOTOED caused an invalid page fault in module PHOTOED.EXE at 0167:0046cafc.

CAUSE
This problem occurs when both of the following conditions are true:

This problem is known to occur when you are using printer shares on Novell servers, where the printer name is determined by Novell and can be very long because of the Novell naming conventions.
