Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Printing and Faxing / May 2008Run As Administrator
I just received a brand new 64-bit Vista machine and installed a bunch of printers that our hooked to our network. Everything works fine when I run applications normally and print within the applications (Word, Excel, my own). But to run Visual Studio 2005 they tell you to always Run As Administrator and I have set up my shortcut to do that. But when I run an application with Run As Administrator none of my printers are in the list. Can I install Administrator printers? How can I see all the printers whether I am running as an administrator or as a regular user?  SignatureThanks, Juan Hi there Juan, If you go into your printers folder, right click on the printer and then click on the security tab is the Administrator allowed to print in this case? Its very unusual if its not checked but its possible its not. You may need to run as administrator to do this SignaturePatrick Squire http://www.msblog.org >I just received a brand new 64-bit Vista machine and installed a bunch of > printers that our hooked to our network.

I make sure myself and even everyone could do printing and had everything checked and I still have no printers listed.

Change the splwow64 timeout value You cannot use the RUNAS command to print from a 32-bit program in different user accounts in a single session on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows (923357) - Describes behavior that occurs because the Splwow64.exe process is available only to the first user until a specified period passes. ... This behavior occurs because the system uses the Splwow64.exe process to translate between 32-bit programs and the driver model of the 64-bit operating system. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923357/en-us SignatureAlan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. >I make sure myself and even everyone could do printing and had everything > checked and I still have no printers listed.

I am really the same user with administrative privledges, but you are saying when I run the program normally I am user xyz with reduced privledges and when I start the program with run as administrator I am user xyz with additional privledges so to Vista we are different users even though there is only one xyz user account? SignatureThanks, Juan > Change the splwow64 timeout value > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923357/en-us no clue, it's a security thing. Did changing the timeout address the issue?

I added a DWORD 32 bit value and set it to 60, since I tend to do leave my debugger open usually for days (But I thought I would try 60 min). But I still have no printers listed when launching my MFC application via the VS 2005 debugger. SignatureThanks, Juan One thing that may give you a little more information is when I run VS2005 with run as administrator, I cannot print. Inside VS2005, I get a list of printers, but nothing comes out. But in my application (MFC or c#) started via the debugger of VS2005, I don't even get a list of printers. SignatureThanks, Juan Hi guys, I believe you need to log on as Administrator (with the same account as you log on and install or connect to the printer that you want to print) Than when you open the App as Administrator account the printer will be able. Best Regards. > One thing that may give you a little more information is when I run VS2005 > with run as administrator, I cannot print.

I didn't quite understand what you were saying, but the account I login with is in the adminstator group for the machine, so I should have full rights. When I start VS2005, it asks for rights and I say allow and it moves on. But then printing does not work. SignatureThanks, Juan |
