GDI.EXE Error When Printing

SHELLPRT

This can happen if there is a reference to SHELLPRT in the WIN.INI file. (SHELLPRT references seem to be installed by Bitstream and WinFax?) Here is an excerpt of a WIN.INI file with references to SHELLPRT:

[PRINTER PORTS]

HP LASERJET IIP=SHELLPRT, LPT1:,15,45

[DEVICES]

HP LASERJET IIP=SHELLPRT, LPT1:

[SHELLDEVICES]

HP LASERJET IIP=HPPCL,,,1

Remove the SHELLPRT references so the lines look like this:

[PRINTER PORTS]

HP LASERJET IIP=LPT1:,15,45

[DEVICES]

HP LASERJET IIP=LPT1:

[SHELLDEVICES]
