CMDEXEC No Printers Installed

  • I am running a command to print a crystal report.  Using a package proxy and have the printer installed for all users.  Can't figure out why I keep getting an error that no printers are installed.

    How that works depends heavily on the exact way you're executing your report print process.   If the printer is managed via a print server, then whatever execution context your command prompt runs with would need write access to that printer share.   This can often occur when a command prompt is done via "Run as Administrator", which means a non-domain account is in use, and access to a domain shared resource might take some serious Active Directory playing around, if it's even possible.

  • I finally gave up and started using Windows Scheduler.  Noticed not too many people were responding.  I appreciate your input.  Thanks!
