I don't know enough about Windows security to be much more help here, but I will say that if you're using IIS then the IUSR_machine user is 'special' and lacks a lot of the permissions that normal users have.

You may also want to search the archives of this list as problems with printing come up fairly frequently. -Stut > -----Original Message----- > From: Stut [mailto:stuttle@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 1:56 PM > To: Moore, Joshua > Cc: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Printing via webapp > > Moore, Joshua wrote: >> Im having a few odd issues with printing and im hoping someone can help me. >> >> I can manually print to my barcode printer just fine (FILE<PRINT in a web >> browser).
