 A bug in SP3 version of SCSIPRNT.SYS sets SCSI printer device to narrow SCSI transfer when used in conjuntion with SYMBIOS (NCR) SCSI controller chip based SCSI card (which is used on the new Digital Server 5300 based Allegro 2/533a workstation).

will appear when the driver attempts to set SCSI bus to narrow transfer.

Note! This effect the Allegro 2/533a workstations only.

  1. Copy SCSIPRNT.SYS to a floppy or network drive.
  2. Rename the orginal E:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\SCSIPRNT.SYS to SCSIPRNT.ORG.
  3. Copy the new SCSIPRNT.SYS to the directory E:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS.
  4. Reboot the workstation.
