I have a requirement that I need to print a crystal report from ASP.NET.

Now, the problem I have is that the default account for ASPNET_WP.EXE is
ASPNET under windows XP. I want to change this to another account that has a
printer setup on. In W2k3 I know it is possible to change the process
identity but is it possible to do the same in XP?

One thing I don't want to do is to change the machine.config file, I only
want this one web site to run with this different user account.

I did read that if you set the Application Protection (in IIS) to high then
it is possible to change the identity of the resulting COM+ package this is
created. However, having changes this setting to High my web app still uses
the one ASPNET_WP.exe process (when looking at Task Manager). The new COM+
package for this site isn't activated either.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Why don't I see more than one
ASPNET_WP.EXE? Is there a better way to give me ASP.NET the ability to print
without user intervention?

Thanks for any help.
