How can you get ASP/IIS Word application with IUSR_ComputerName to PrintOut to spooler or disk?
The problem:
============
Lauching Word.Application inside of ASP/DLL's, which defaults the launching
user to IUSR_ComputerName (I debugged this). Everything works, can access
and manipulate all Word objects and methods, including .Save but the .PrintOut
(creating a post-script file to disk) method doesn't work.
<BR>
Solutions that didn't work:
===========================
* Tried changing IIS's IUSR_ComputerName to another username that I know
has access to print drivers/ spooler. Not fixed.
* Tried changing both username's with Administrative access to write to disk
and have access to spoolers.
* Tried changing the "Spooler" service login to an administrative account
(instead of system account). Bad idea, doesn't work.
* Tried setting up Word.Application in DCOMCNFG.EXE with an administrative
account. Doesn't work-- now I can't print in Word with an interactive login.
* NOTE: I DID change the password to IUSR_ComputerName so I can log on to
the workstation interactively and make sure printer-drivers are accessible
for that account. This is OK.
<BR>
Possible Clues:
===============
* I've tried to access registry points on the "Default Printer" setting found
through an API call using the reference below-- and get information accurately
(meaning access to DRV file is fine), BUT when I try to access the GetProfileString
API (see below) it returns nothing even though I'm sure I set a default printer
for the IUSR account.
WORKS OK:
Declare Function EnumPrinters Lib "winspool.drv" _
Alias "EnumPrintersA" (ByVal flags As Long, ByVal name As String, _
ByVal Level As Long, pPrinterEnum As Long, ByVal cdBuf As Long, _
pcbNeeded As Long, pcReturned As Long) As Long
DOESN'T WORK:
GetProfileString("windows", "device", "", sRet1, lngRet)
Public Declare Function GetProfileString Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "GetProfileStringA" (ByVal lpAppName As String, _
ByVal lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, _
ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long
To question I need to answer:
=============================
* How do you get IIS's login-account (IUSR_ComputerName or other) to have
an active Word.Application.PrintOut command work. I'm doing a print-to-file
method for .PrintOut. I can "Save" the Word document so disk-access isn't
a process-- so I'm ruling out "spooler" problems as the cause.
* Anyone know how to get IIS's login-acount IUSR_ComputerName to get access
to the spooler?
