Problem

Solutions: The message "Invalid Filename When Trying To Print" appeared after a user sent a print job. The error was caused by the port selection. The user had entered LPT1: under the Other port option (Shift-F7, S, 3, 2, 8). Since the user was not running on a network, LPT1: was being read as a filename, and a colon is considered an invalid character in a filename. Removing the colon eliminated the error message.

Entering an invalid document name under the Other port selection can also cause the message "Invalid Drive Path Specification." See memo number WP51_6073J for additional information on this error when it appears under the similar circumstances.
