178 Cannot initialize printer.

Problem: Getting error "Cannot initialize printer."

1: When printing a report.
Date: 1 March 1997
Versions: P7 W95/NT
Environment:
Win 95
printing to Novell NW3.12 network
HP5MP printer w/ Axis print server.

Possible cause by: Joe Moore
Talked to Borland, they have admitted finally that Paradox 7 will not work w/ HP5 drivers. They said if you have a HP5, to use HP4 drivers for it.
Solution:
updated to 1.3 of HP driver
turned off spooling
set port to lpt1:\mayday\hpadmin


2: When printing a report from Win NT 4 clients
