SYMPTOMS
Error 255 is reported in line 668 of Spool.c when the login script containing the following line is run:

  #COMMAND /c CAPTURE /S=servername /Q=quename



CAUSE
Capture.exe is not a supported application; it often fails when run from the command prompt. The login script processor does not actually run Capture.exe. Instead, it parses the command #CAPTURE and works in the background. Therefore, when you use the above command, you are running the actual Capture.exe file.

This is by design.



RESOLUTION
Replace the above line with the following:

  #CAPTURE /S= /Q=
