SYMPTOMS
When you try to print to a LANtastic network printer, you may receive the following error message:

Spool32 caused an invalid page fault in module WNPP32.DLL



CAUSE
This error can occur for either of the following reasons:


 * The real-mode LANtastic drivers used the wrong syntax to capture a printer port.
 * You may require an updated Lantnet.drv file from Artisoft.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use the appropriate method:


 * Edit the Startnet.bat file in the Lantasti folder and disable the "net use lptx" statement. To do so, follow these steps:


 * Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the Startnet.bat file in the Lantasti folder.
 * Type rem at the beginning of the net use LPT1 statement.
 * Save the Startnet.bat file and then close the editor.
 * Restart your computer.
 * To obtain the updated Lantnet.drv file, download the Lant6x.exe file from Artisoft's BBS.
