I'm creating an asp page which have some links to print
Word or pdf
files; I'm using window.print() to send the documents to
the printer,
that is connected directly to the network (but the problem
exist even
with printers that are not). The point is tha all I get is
a blank
page with only the date and the file path printed on, and
the
solution seems to be to give at the account, who's using
the
asp page, local administrator rights for the pc. I don't
know why this
works (and even who suggested to do such thing), but the
network
administrator doesn't want to give that kind of privilege
to a couple
of pc primers (maybe to anyone at all), so I must find
another way to
solve this problem.
Can anyone give some clues?
P.S.
I'm working with windows 2000, office 97 and IE6SP1.
The printer is an HP Laserjet 2100 (the one I'm personally
using to test the page)
 
Tell your administrator to modify your profile to give you
print permissions that allow you to print, manage
printers, and manage documents on the local computer at
your desk. Another solution for this would be to give
rights to each user through a roaming profile the rights
to do those things, if he wanted to he could use the power
users group and modify its permissions.
 
We tried but it doesn't work...we found another "strange" solution:
installing Word2000 and than uninstalling it (we've only one license
for it), anyone knows which registry entries not directly connected to
Word does Word 2000 change?
