I've come across a problem where if I PrintDocument to a local printer using it's full network path and name. I.e. \\Server\PrinterName. The PDF won't print and I get a document error.

However if I use the same (full) name and call PrintDocument from another computer on the network it prints fine.

Is there any way around this or am I going to have to strip the Server Name out when the process is running on the computer with the printer installed.

Thanks

Hi,

for me this seems to be a normal behavior.

If on my pc there isn't a network-printer like file://%5C%5CServer%5CPrinterName" rel="nofollow - \\Server\PrinterName then i hope printout will fail ;-)

With GetPrinterNames you can gather all available printer installations on each single pc.

Cheers, Ingo

Hi,

I am facing very annoying problem when try to print using windows service on shared printer. I created a console application which is executed by windows service. Always get "Error-Printing" on printer properties window.

Whereas when I print interactively (using windows application) printing is successful.

Please help.

Thanks,

Ukumawat

Hi Ukumawat,

Has the shared printer been mapped on the machine that the Windows Service is running on?
