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

Steven,

We do not see the printer selection dialog. However, the process stops. We
know the dialog displays because when performing a "run as" with a user that
has not logged on manually, the printer selection dialog displays.

I am inclined to agree that running LoadUserProfile will solve the issue.
How can I run this for the IWAM account if I do not know its password?
