                               WINDOWS 3.1 PAINTBRUSH LIMITATION

    PROBLEM:        When trying to print within Windows 3.1 Paintbrush, with a
                    video resolution of 640x480, in 64K colors, the following
                    error message appears on the screen:

                                      UNABLE TO PRINT

                    There is not enough memory, or the printer is not installed
                    properly.  Quit one or more applications to increase available
                    memory, or check Control Panel to ensure that the Printer is
                    installed correctly.  Then try again.

    CAUSE:          Paintbrush does not support 64K colors.

    SYSTEMS
    AFFECTED:       All systems.

    SOLUTION:       Set video mode to 640x480, 16 colors.
