SYMPTOMS

When you print to an HP Laserwriter through Services for Macintosh (SFM) from a
Macintosh computer to a Windows NT Advanced Server computer, the print job may
fail with the following error:

  ERROR: invalidaccess

This problem occurs when you use either the 6.x or 7.x versions of the HP
Laserwriter drivers. This problem does not occur if you use the 8.x versions of
the driver.
