SYMPTOMS
When you review Host Integration Server 2000 Snaprint internal traces, you may notice that the incorrect printer name is used.

This occurs if the printer is a shared printer on the Host Integration Server itself. The following is an example of the trace: AOpPr 3270 session: PrintTest AOpPr  LU: LU7 AOpPr  Print to: printer (\\HISServer\PrinterName) ... ... ... JSTAR DEVMODE: JSTAR    device name: \\PrintServer\PrinterName



CAUSE
When you modify or add a new print session, the Host Integration Server does not perform validation on the print device. Nor does the Host Integration Server update the DEVMODE and the DEVNAMES structures that are carried in the configuration file unless you use the Print button on the MMC UI. The result is that the DEVMODE and the DEVNAMES structures are out of sync after the change.
