You might try changing the user which tomcat runs as and see if that helps.
-----Original Message----- From: Anthony Cunningham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 10:46 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: No printers when run as service. I tried searching the archives and google for this but without success. I am running Tomcat 4.0.4 on Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 6 (Japanese). Due to the nature of our application we are using Adobe PDFWriter as a virtual printer to create a PDF file on the harddrive which is then streamed to the user and deleted. When Tomcat is run from the command line it works ok however when run as a service the error below occurs. Does anyone know why this might happen and a possible solution? thanks for the help, Anthony Cunningham java.awt.print.PrinterException: No printer found. at
