PRB: Windows 95 DDK Print Processor Sample Causes Word 97 Fault

 * }

Q180585

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95 Driver Development Kit (DDK)
 * Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

-

SYMPTOMS
The print processor sample in the Windows 95 DDK causes Word 97 to fault when printing large documents.

CAUSE
This happens because the print processor links with Winspool.lib.

RESOLUTION
To fix the problems, modify the makefile to link with Spoolss.lib and not Winspool.lib as shown below.

Sample Code
  \DDK|\PRINTER\SAMPLES\SPOOLER\WINPRINT\MAKEFILE "  [ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133]   [ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133]   [ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133]

LINK_OPTS = /NOLOGO /DEBUG /DEBUGTYPE:CV /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS USER32.LIB GDI32.LIB KERNEL32.LIB SPOOLSS.LIB /ENTRY:DLLENTRYPOINT

LIBS = SPOOLSS.LIB LIBC.LIB ADVAPI32.LIB MPR.LIB SHELL32.LIB

[ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133] [ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133] [ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133][ASCII 133] "
