Palani:

The problem is that Services run in the context of the System, not in any
user context. The System "log on", if you can call it that, has no
printers established for it. (hence the problem with 2212).

To resolve this you need to create printer objects for the .DefaultUser in
the registry.

Steve,

That didn't help. In addition, I also tried by changing
the services to log on as myself, that also didn't work

Thanks for your help.

I've seen this with other PDF-similar printers. I have a
a client where printing suddenly stopped working from a
DoCmd "session"... after working through it, it seems that
the installation of Quickbooks 2003 added a printer
called "Intuit Internal Printer" which then became the
default printer. When the user tried to print to it, poof
all just dissappeared with no error nothing. Further
research indicated that this was a third-party (neither MS
nor Intuit) PDR generating print driver. All other
printers, when set to the default printer, worked. This
one didn't. Very interesting.....

(oh yes, if you started the access session with a simple
object creation, it will usually run in YOUR context and
not as a service assuming that the application is called
on the same local machine. Only if you are trying
complicated server-side printing do the other issues
matter.)

What PDF printer driver are you using and how are you setting the registry
keys?

Are you setting registry keys to specify the filename or are you trying to
do some kind of
Sendkeys statement? I know it is possible because I have done it before.
Give some details
on operating system etc... as well, it might help.

You can send me an email directly to get faster results,
