Getting the following message when trying to "map" to a Network Printer....

"The data area passed to a system call is too small"

Any ideas....???

thanks..........
 
Yeah, the data area is HUGE....!!!!

Its an NT Client PC thats causing the problem, read the article above and I'll try the spooler "fix", gonna try Service Pack re-install as well.....

thanks for your help..........
 
Turned out to be a problem with an incorrectly created connection to a printer share.

Had to load a local driver and "attach" to LPT1, then map LPT1: to the share.....

 
Very useful. I haven't seen this message before - now I know what to do if I do see it!

Thanks, Highland.
