Visual dBase will not load under Win95. The error states that the
printer can only be 31 characters long. The printer name includes the
entire typless name {which includes the tree name and context which the
printer object resides}. If you blow away the printer out of the printer
folder it loads with no problem (except you can't print from any
software). This is a classroom with computer end-users with little
knowledge!

Map the printer to a local port.

I had this happen on our LAN as well.  The work around was to add the
printer as a local and map it to the LAN address.  As the default printer, I
then added any new local printer (such as an Apple...it doesn't matter) and
set that as the default.  When printing, I would select in print setup the
correct printer and it worked 95% of the time.  I would end up playing with
the printer about once every month or two.  I did end up installing 7.0 with
the patch of 7.01 and it works great in 95/98/NT plus so many more tools and
attributes.  You may consider taking the plunge...Don
