Hello,

How are you determining that enableprinter() is failing. The return value of the function basically will only fail if you do not supply it two string values.

Also, are you handling events fired by the PDF Converter to enable the printer?

Thanks
Jose

EnablePrinter returned false, so it logs a corrsponding error in our logfile. This was tested once remotly on a customer computer with the admin-problem.

Yes, we handle the enable event too!

Hello Al,

I am unfortunately not following your issue.

Is the printing always failing on 64bit versions of windows?

under normal "vista" conditions, with a non admin or non elevated admin account the printing works as expected.
Only when our 32-bit program runs elevated, our 64-bit vista customers getting the trouble.
No such reports from 64bit XP only 64-bit Vista!!

Generally there is no need to run our program elevated, so we tell our customers to avoid running it in elevated mode, but it's curious that printing failed with full access... :shock:

Did you already manage to reproduce this problem on 64bit Vista?

Regards
Al
