Attempt to use an unknown printer handle

An attempt was made to use a printer handle that was not opened by calling OpenPrinterA, OpenPrinterW, OpenPrinter2W (on Microsoft Windows Vista), AddPrinterA, or AddPrinterW.

To see the stack trace of the routine that attempted this action, use the �k' command in the debugger. The sample debugger output illustrates the following troubleshooting steps:

• Examine the stack trace to find the function that includes the printer handle from Parameter 1 in the argument list.
  
  
• Find the routine that includes this function and examine the source code to determine the open function used to open the handle and correct it if necessary.
