Windows NT Printing Problem

I had to reinstall Windows NT on a workstation and now I am getting the error message "Test page failed to print. The data area passed to a system call is too small". What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

I'm a little weak on this myself but here goes nothing. Did you remake the printer object? Also, what service pack are you at? And what's the printer device?

We are using, service pack 5 and it the same things happen on an HP LaserJet 4 and 4050tn. Forgive me here, but what do you mean by remake the printer object. I'm new to NT. Thanks!

Hi, In the printers folder delete the printer and then start over and remake the printer (object). Reinstall the printer. Maybe there's something about the ports here. I'll ask around and see if someone knows about this error. I'll write back in about 8 hours from now.
