PRB: Cannot Install a Print Processor Named WINPRINT
This article was previously published under Q151890
Under Windows 95, a print processor cannot be installed if it has a name
of "WinPrint." In Windows 95, SPOOLSS.DLL contains default print subsystem
components, one of which is the default print processor called "WinPrint."
When trying to install a print processor either programmatically or by an
.INF file, SPOOLSS.DLL will check to see if the print processor is named
"WinPrint." If it is, the installation will fail.
This behavior is by design.

- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition Driver Development Kit
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
