Re: Problem Printing using IWebBrowser2 from IWAM Account on Server 2003

Thanks for your response Scott,

OK. So you've used a custom COM component in your asp page(not asp.net
yes?) and try printing in that component, and there'll always occur printer
selection dialog if you haven't interactively logon through that service
account on the server yet ,yes?

One thing I'm still confused is since the ASP's page processing thread
running in a daemon process belonging to a non displayable windows station,
how could you see the Printer selection dialog? It's only possible for us
to see such UI in application running interactively or in a visible windows
station.

Anyway, from the symptom of the issue, I think it's likely due to the
USERPROFILE of your IWAM(or other custom account) account. when we
interactively logon , the certain user/account's User Profile is loaded,
then the Printer selection dialog won't appear. You can try using the
LoadUserProfile win32 API to manually load the userProfile of your
process's account to see whether it helps.

| Steven,
|
| 1. It is running serverside through a com component in an ASP page.
|
| 2. Agreed.
|
| The issue can also be demonstrated as follows:
|
| 1. a new account is created on 2003 in the administrators group.
|
| 2. The administrator invokes cmd.exe using "run as" with the new account.
|
| 3. The code will display the printer selection dialog and prints
| successfully.
|
| 4. The new account is used to log into 2003 server and logs out.
|
| 5. The administrator invokes cmd.exe using "run as" with the new account.
|
| 6 The code will NOT display the printer selection dialog and prints
| successfully.
