Just to add some more details to this - the problem is quite random as to if a uer can print or not. I have just investigated this problem further and have seen one client print ok. Log off, log back on again and then when you print the whole app is locked until you delete the job in the printer que. All other applications work fine for printing. I then decided to remove the printing option so at least users could save the work and then print it off within another application. I added the 'noprint=yes' line in the CFG file but this does not do the job. Users are still able to print or lockup the app. Is this a known problem or am I missing something !!
Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 13 Oct From: mmarsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Printing problem I have Tuxpaint running on around 20 clients at our school. The clients are running XP Pro and Tuxpaint is installed locally on the machines. Not sure if anyone is familiar with the CSE front end for schools but this is what the children see when they logon. From here I have an icon for Tux which they double click on and away they go. All loads up etc and it works fine except when they go to print. Some users can print fine. They log off the domain and someone else logs on and they cannot print, in fact Tux hangs whilst the print job errors in the network printer que. All other apps work fine from within their ID and they can print except from within Tux. Thinking this may be a access permissions type problem I allowed everyone/domain and users/domain FULL accress to the Tuxpaint dir, but the same problem still happens. I also created a group policy with the same access permissions for the machines. So I have a situtation where a user can print from one PC but not from another although the builds of the PC are identical - [ ghosted and of course the SID changed ] - the only thing I can think of is that Tux is holding a file open somewhere thus not allowing another use to print once they log off - [ thing is most open files are killed when someone is logged off ] - or there has been a change to a file somewhere from within the Tux dir or the user's profile from within C:\documents & settings Has anyone had a similar issue ? I was thinking of running the app from a share point from a server ? Anyone know if that could possibly either solve the issue and can it be done ? I have run the EXE from a server without a problem but is there a limit of how many users can fire up Tux - The max open at anyone given time will be around 15 possibly.... Anyway here is the config file if it helps - I would really appreciate some help here as I have a load of children and teachers breathing down my nexk asking why the kids cannot print their pictures !! 800x600=yes fullscreen=yes nofancycursors=no simpleshapes=yes noshortcuts=yes savedir=n:\tuxpaint\ _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
