Re: Application started from a "win services" doesn't see network

You might try adding the "network printer" as a "Local Printer" per
instructions in http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterNoPP.htm. I
suspect that at least part of the issue is that "Network Printers" are a per
user thing configured in the user's profile. When something runs as a
Service, there is no "user profile".

However, a Service should be able to use an existing Local Printer.

I suspect having a Service adding a printer each time it runs would be not a
good thing to do.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
