ID: Q242117



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0





SYMPTOMS

When you try to copy a cross-platform printer driver from a Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0-based server to a client computer (for example, a Microsoft Windows 95-based client), you may receive the following error message in Event Viewer:

Event ID: 2510
Source: Server
Type: Error
Category: None

The Server service was unable to map error code 1797.



CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the server does not have that specific printer driver loaded. Because of this, the printer driver is unknown.



RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, install the printer driver on the client workstation from the printer driver installation disk.
