TrueImage Interpreter initialization failed

[Ed Gowen]

We have a Windows 2000 Server managing all our printers.
Just recently it has started dropping Macintosh Print
jobs. The Application Event log contains a

Event ID: 4000
Source: MacPrint
Category: TrueImage Print
Description: The TrueImage Interpreter initialization
failed. (Document Name: (Note Pad)) Processing continued

Google Groups connects this with Windows 2000 SP4 and a
couple of folks report that uninstalling SP4 and reverting
to PS3 solves the problem.

I'd really prefer to fix the problem without removing
SP4. Does anyone have a better solution.

At this point the only way to restore printing for your
Macintosh clients will be to remove SP4. This issue is
under active investigation at Microsoft. We will post
more to the newsgroup when we have a final resolution for
this issue. Currently only printers like the Apple
Laserwriters, at least those with postscript and
Appletalk, are working with SP4.

We have the same issue as one one described, a temporary solution we have used is the post script drivers that are shipped with the printer. We have three printers they are hp laserjet 4050's two had pcl6 drivers (did not work), one ps drivers (worked fine), changed the other two printers drivers and all worked fine.
