Good afternoon,

I have a client wanted to know if it’s possible to use PDFPrint to print to a network printer from the command line.  Are there any limitations to this, or does it require a local printer in order to function?
=================================
Yes, our pdfprint.exe does support network printer, you can use it by following command line,

Pdfprint.exe -printer "\\192.168.1.10\myPrinter" C:\test.pdf

We are getting some errors back from PrintPDF when trying to print.  I have included a log with the error numbers below.  Can you tell me what's going on?

Thanks,

=================================
We've tried a few things today, but still can't get around this error.  We have isolated the error to printers that are being shared by another computer on the network.

Allow me to describe our system:

We have some web services running on a Windows 2008 server with IIS7.  We are printing some PDFs with your tool when a user executes a specific command.  The printers that are installed directly to the server (I.E. not going through another computer) work great.  The printers being shared by another computer don't work.   I can print to those printers when I am logged in to the machine, so it seems to only be a problem when trying to have the service execute the print command.

Do you have any additional troubleshooting information that could help us?
=================================
"service" hasn't Network connection ability, you need run pdfprint.exe from Administrator user account, then you will get pdfprint.exe work properly.

Please download CmdAsUser from following page to try, you can use CmdAsUser to run pdfprint.exe from Administrator user account,

you can also set your service run as Administrator user account in Service Manager, if you don't know how to do, please feel free to let us know, we will provide the detailed information to you shortly.
