SYMPTOMS
When you save a file to the same floppy disk from which your file was opened, and you are using one of the printers and drivers below:

Canon BJC-600, printer driver version 2.0b, 2.0c, 2.0d

Canon BJC-600e, printer driver version 1.0

Canon BJC-4000, printer driver version 1.x

Canon BJC-210, printer driver version 3.01

the following error message may be generated:

Sharing Violation on Drive X.

where X is the floppy drive where the document was opened from.

The sharing violation occurs only when a file is being saved to the same floppy disk from which it was opened. This error does not occur when saving to a hard drive or when saving from the A drive to the B drive or vice versa.



WORKAROUND
With the sharing violation error message on the screen, choose Cancel and the file will still save.



RESOLUTION
A sharing violation will not occur if you complete the following steps:  Remove or use the REM command to remark out SHARE.EXE from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See your MS-DOS manual for more information. Add VSHARE.386 to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. The line should read as follows:

device=vshare.386

NOTE: VSHARE.386 must be in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. It currently ships with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Works for Windows 3.0a and 3.0b. Make sure Windows is running in enhanced mode.
