How are you running your Django app? Is it running as a service? Is it networked, or directly connected? Microsoft does not recommend printing from Windows services, in parts because of security considerations. Your service is running as a special Windows user (unless you've configured it), and that special user needs permissions to use the printer. — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
