SYMPTOMS
When you print to a color PostScript printer, you may experience either
of the following symptoms:
- General protection (GP) faults in Pscript.drv.
- Image Color Matching (ICM) does not function.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Adobe Type Manager version 3.01 or earlier is
installed on your computer.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use the following steps:
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- In the Open box, type win.ini, and then
click OK.
- Add the following line to the [Pscript.drv] section of the file:
- Save the file, and then quit Notepad.
- Restart Windows normally.
Or, you can contact Adobe for information about upgrading your version of
Type Manager.
MORE INFORMATION
Type Manager version 3.01 and earlier does not support some of the fields
that Windows 95 ICM expects. If these fields are empty, one of the
symptoms listed above may occur.
With the "ATMWorkaround=1" entry in the Win.ini file, ICM does not
function during text output from any program. Remove this line if you
install an updated version of Type Manager.
