Hi,
I have JBOSS running on a Windows Server. Our applications on JBOSS use network printers which are installed on the server for printing purposes. This works fine so far, except for one case for which I ask you for support:
If I map a printer, which is (only) conneted via USB with a PC and shared in the network, the printer is available on the server with JBOSS and can be mapped, BUT JBOSS is not able to see this particular printer and print on it, while the other installed network printers are available and functional via JBOSS.
My researchs have led to the conclusion, that JBOSS doesn't see this printer, as JBOSS is running unter the SYSTEM account, while the printer was installed with an administrator account. Strangely network printers don't cause this issue.
If I start JBOSS with an administrator account, it can see and use the shared printer. But unfortunately this is not an option, as it causes other issues with our applications.
So the question is: Is there a way to make the printer visible for the SYSTEM account? Or any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Amir
