Re: [Wrapper-user] Can not load printer from windows service

[Christian <chr...@ta...>]

Hi Riyaz & Hubert,

Hubert is fast and right.

When running as a service, the Wrapper and its JVM, will by default be
running as the Windows SYSTEM user.  This user does not have the
ability to access network drives or printers.

It is also possible to run as a specific user account to gain access
to network drives etc:

I think this should work out for you.

Cheers,
Christian Mueller
