Printing to NovaPDF from service on Win8 - PrintTicket failu
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 7:23 am
My application has issue on Windows 8. Application runs as a windows service. Service creates a teporary public novaPDF profile, activates it and then it sends a print job to novaPDF printer. On that moment exception occurs:
Generating report PDF exception ---> System.Printing.PrintQueueException: PrintTicket provider failed to bind to printer. Win32 error: -2147467231
at MS.Internal.Printing.Configuration.PTProvider..ctor(String deviceName, Int32 maxVersion, Int32 clientVersion)
at MS.Internal.Printing.Configuration.PTProviderBase.Create(String deviceName, Int32 maxVersion, Int32 clientVersion)
at System.Printing.PrintTicketManager..ctor(String deviceName, Int32 clientPrintSchemaVersion)
at System.Printing.PrintQueue.get_DefaultPrintTicket()
... call from my service application ...
c# code for the print job:
It works well on Windows XP/7. We tried to install novaPDF 7.7 but error remains.
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200)
I'm wondering if it is something regarding rights to print on a printer from a service ... and I can't find cause of this error. Please do you know how to solve this problem?
--edit--
I have tried to modify service properties to start as a local user and I also tried to grant all the rights on the novaPDF printer to the local users. Exception still remains.
