This problem can occur if the path to the printer contains more than 19 characters. CorelDRAW cannot handle a path of more than 19 characters to the printer.

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

•

Use a printer path with 19 or less characters. For example, the path \\server123\printer (19 characters) works, but the path \\server123\printer1 (20 characters) does not.

•

Redirect an LPT port to the network printer share. To do so, follow these steps: • Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Printers. • Use the right mouse button to click the printer icon, then click Properties on the menu that appears. • On the Details tab, click Capture Printer Port. • In the Device box, click the printer port you want to redirect. • In the Path box, type the path for the network printer. • If you want to use this printer each time you start Windows 95, click the Reconnect At Logon check box to select it. • Click OK.
