| Guest | Problem with printer port HI i've developed a simple printer driver that doesn't communicate with a physical printer but instead creates a PDF or TIF file for every page. Now i've written an application to automate printer installation The app does this: - copy driver files - install new driver - creates a new local port - creates a new printer and vverything workf fine(the install is run as administrator). The problem is that when i try to use the printer with a non-admin user it doesn't and i get this message in the event viewer Event Type: Error Event Source: Print Event Category: None Event ID: 6161 Date: 21/5/2008 Time: 6:31:33 PM User: NICOLAXP\Roberto Computer: NICOLAXP Description: The document Test Page owned by Roberto failed to print on printer EasyPrinter. Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 74996. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client machine: \\NICOLAXP. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 5 (0x5). For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. The problem is the same if a manully install the driver and manully create the local port. Setting the printer non to spool will not resolve the problem, i've also added full control to everyone to the c:\windows\system32 folder. PLEASE HELP Regards Nicola |
