RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, the Banyan Vines administrator must assign a Banyan Vines print queue in your Banyan Vines user profile to an available LPT port, and then install a local printer on your Windows NT client workstation that uses the same LPT port that is assigned in the Banyan Vines user profile. For information about how to do this, refer to the Banyan Vines documentation for your software revision.

This issue is resolved by the following updated file:

Back to the top

Internet Explorer for Windows NT 4.0

   Mshtml.dll  version 4.72.3002.2  dated 2/3/98   2,399,232 bytes

Back to the top

Internet Explorer for Windows 95

   Mshtml.dll  version 4.72.3002.2  dated 2/3/98   2,388,480 bytes

NOTE: After you apply this fix, printing functionality should be restored, but when you quit Internet Explorer, you may receive a type "505" error message for each time you sent a print job to your printer. This error message does not impact the functionality of your printing, and can be ignored. Note that this error is caused by an issue with the Banyan Vines software, and is therefore not an issue that Microsoft supports.
