Re: [Wrapper-user] Problem with printer discovery on a network- when application wrapped as a service

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Aparna,
    Not that I know of.   Some applications get around this problem by
running two processes.  One is the main service process, and the second
is a small process that gets launched when a user logs in.   It runs as
the logged in user and communicates in the background with the main
service using a state file, socket, or some other method.
    I know it is a pain, but I am not aware of any way to get around this
due to the way Windows is designed.

    If anyone has any other information on this, I would love to hear about
it as well.

Cheers,
Leif
