URGENT !!! - SHARING PDF PRINTER
I just downloaded AMYUNI PDF CONVERTER VERSION 2.10d for testing purposes. For the moment it is licensed like "Developer Evaluation Version". It is working OK , but I want to install the driver on another machine (a server for example), share it, and generating PDF files programatically from a "client" application. Well , I installed the driver on a specific machine, I shared it as "Amyuni PDF Driver" -> this is the share name. Then, in my application , when I am using the DriverInit function I get an error: "The printer name is invalid". According the documentation the DriverInit() function receive as parameter a string specifying the printer name as it appears in Control Panel. So, I said maybe the name is wrong , I do not have to use the share name but , instead use the printer name as it appears in Control Panel. So, I changed the parameter to "Amyuni PDF Driver on SOFTDEV" where SOFTDEV is the name of the server. I get the same result. Why ???
10x in advance for the answer

SOLUTION
Well , in case that you want to use a shared PDF printer, in DriverInit() function you have to specify the name of the shared printer in UNC format: \\server\share name. In the specified case (see post) the parameter should be: \\SOFTDEV\Amyuni PDF Driver
