NOTE: Because of file dependencies, the most recent fix that contains the preceding files may also contain additional files.
The print service that is included with Host Integration Server 2000 was designed to log an Event 25 error message for each print job when the print service cannot recognize the paper size, orientation, or paper source that you specified in the printer's DEVMODE structure.
Because most print jobs print correctly even when Event 25 error messages are logged, it was determined that a reduction in the frequency of Event 25 error messages would help to prevent unnecessary message logging.
After you apply the update, the print server logs an Event 25 error message only when the print session is initially activated. The event is not logged for each print job that is processed by the print session.
