The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft 500 Nations for Windows, version 1.0 
 - Microsoft Dogs for Windows, version 1.0 
 - Microsoft Oceans for Windows, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS
========

In Windows 3.x, when you print from one of the programs listed at the top of
this article, you receive errors similar to the following:

   Printer Error [pr807].
   Check that your printer is installed correctly.
   OK

When you click OK, the following error message appears:

   Printer Error [pr808].
   Please check that the printer is properly connected and that you have the
   proper printer driver installed.
   OK

When you click OK, the program returns to one of the programs listed at the top
of this article. No document prints.

NOTE: If Print Manager is used, the print job appears to be spooled, but the
print job will not print.

CAUSE
=====

Errors pr801 and pr807 are caused by video drivers that do not support the
StretchDIBits() function.

The cause of other "pr" errors is unknown, but appears to be related to the video
card driver.

RESOLUTION
==========

Try one of the following resolutions:

 - Click OK when you see the error message. It may actually be printing OK.

 - Instead of using the Print option, use the Copy option, then perform a paste
   command in your favorite word processor and print from there.

 - Try a different color depth and/or resolution setting.

 - Obtain an updated driver from your hardware manufacturer.

 - In many cases the Super VGA video driver solves this problem.

   NOTE: The Super VGA driver will not work on video cards with an S3 chip set,
   including the Number Nine GXE or Diamond Stealth 64 cards.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the programs listed at the top
of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

NOTE: The problem does not occur on systems running Microsoft Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION
================

For more information on your video driver, contact your hardware vendor.
