Sending RAW data to a printer with port set to FILE
This question has appeared in this group earlier but no answer was given.
When sending data to a printer as described in KB 138594 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q138594/ i.e. OpenPrinter with DOC_INFO_1.pDataType set to "RAW", StartDocPrinter, StartPagePrinter, WritePrinter, etc., and the printer port is set to FILE:, print job sits in spooler with status "Error - Printing". No entries are written to the event logs, although print server is configured to log spooler errors and warnings. Tweaking spooler directory security didn't make any difference. TIA, Georgi |
