This is an optional service used primarily in mixed Windows NT-Unix environments, and is not installed by default. Installing this update will prevent a malicious user from disrupting printing services on a network that has installed TCP/IP Printing Services. The native Windows NT and Windows 2000 printing service is not affected by this vulnerability.
