short nick name

Non-PRO English to Norwegian Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Macintosh/Printers
"The error message 'Invalid format for short nick name' appears when printing a document. (Mac OS® X 10.5 – 10.6) ... If the printer driver is not installed correctly, this error occurs. You need to uninstall the printer drivers and reinstall them." I can't find this error msg in research and assumes it's something appearing in Mac OS. Anyone who knows?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

ShortNickName is an entry in the ppd file (driver in this case) for your printer.
Note from asker:
Takk! Det blir en veldig kontekstavhengig term, så jeg lukker saken, men takk for hjelpen; nå ser jeg hvordan termen er brukt :)
Peer comment(s):

agree Egil Presttun : ShortNickName bør nevnes i parentes.

agree Kjetil Kiran : Antar man kan gi skriveren et kortere kallenavn i Os X, type "Hjemme", "Kontoret" etc. Denne beskjeden kommer sannsynligvis når et ugyldig tegn er brukt i dette kallenavnet.
