TrueImage Errors When Printing from a Macintosh

 Last reviewed: September 6, 1996

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1 - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

When you print from a Macintosh to a non-PostScript print queue on a Windows NT Server, you may receive the following error message: 

   ID 4014
   source- macprint
   type- error
   Category- TrueImage print
   The TrueImage interpreter was unable to query the font list correctly
   to begin processing job.

CAUSE

The PostScript interpreter in Windows NT 3.51 expects the PostScript format of the Macintosh to follow the LaserWriter Plus standard. This is usually not a problem because that is the printer (ppd) that defaults under Macintosh Services. However, if you have changed that default, you will get the ID 4014 error as described above.

RESOLUTION

Change the driver back to the default, that is, LaserWriter Plus. This should not adversely affect the print quality.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.x. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
