| | Installing a Network Printer with PrintUI.dll Hi, I'm currently playing around with printer connections in Vista Ultimate RC2. I'd like to use the rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /q /n\\PrintServer\PrintShare command to install a network printer for all users on the Workstation. This works beautifully in Windows XP :-) When I type rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /? in Vista all the options I use have the same documentation as they do in XP so I expected the command to work the same. I've got it to add the printer and it displays for a fraction of a second before the Spooler service crashes with this error: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: spoolsv.exe Application Version: 6.0.5744.16384 Application Timestamp: 4523520b Fault Module Name: StackHash_8284 Fault Module Version: 6.0.5744.16384 Fault Module Timestamp: 452358e5 Exception Code: c0000374 Exception Offset: 000ad93b OS Version: 6.0.5744.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 8284 Additional Information 2: e9791f34abac62f66d5f130451919259 Additional Information 3: 6df8 Additional Information 4: f3150e0d4ec0ff6398c08e4d8b66bca8 I can install the network printer for a user and print to it without a problem so I don't think it's the Driver that's the problem(??). Have changes been made to printui.dll in Vista, or is there something else going on here??? I've seen other posts around with people having trouble with the spooler service with network printers, has anyone found a better resolution than rebuilding the user's profile?? |
