Windows NT 4.0 with Solstice Network Client 3.x Causes A PC NetLink NT Printer Share to Fail

Windows NT 4.0 with Solstice Network Client 3.x causes a PC NetLink NT Printer Share to fail and displays the following error message: Printer driver for Windows NT 4.0 x86 could not be installed. This function is only valid in Windows NT mode.

Workaround: Share PC NetLink printers from an NT 4.0 system that does not have Solstice Network Client 3.x (SNC) installed on it. The SNC 3.x NT systems will be able to see the Printer shares and install the printer locally without difficulty.

To check the presence of SNC 3.x on an NT 4.0 system, open Services in the Network dialog box in the Control panel. If Network Services lists "Solstice NFS Client" and/or "Solstice File Sharing" entries, then SNC 3.x is installed on that system. If necessary, remove SNC 3.x through the Add/Remove Programs() function in the Control Panel.
