What's an Error -39?

An Error -39 is an end-of-file message. If you've gotten en error -39 while printing or otherwise outputting a file, it most likely means that the file is corrupt. Less frequently, it could be caused by a corrupted print driver.

You can try fixing the file by copying it into another program, and using that data to re-create it in the original program.

If you get this error on more than one file, replace your printer driver by re-installing if from your original install disks.
